Ground Combat Identification

Abstract

Combat Identification (CID) is a family of systems to maximize overall the combat effectiveness of forces by minimizing and mitigating incidents of fratricide and maximizing the situational understanding of the trigger puller across the broad spectrum of Joint and Coalition combat operations. This is accomplished by the identification of friends, enemies/foes and neutrals in the Joint and Coalition battle space. Based on program prioritization direction from the Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Deputy's Advisory Working Group (DAWG), the Joint Cooperative Target Identification - Ground (JCTI-G) efforts have been refocused to address fratricide incidents involving Fires-on-Dismounts (FoD) and Air to Ground (A-G) fires. The FoD is a Joint effort with the United States Marine Corps. In accordance with an Army/Marine Corps MOA, funding for FoD systems development will be equitably shared between the two services. This program has been designated Special Interest by the Defense Acquisition Executive.
