Assessment of Potential for Commonality of ADP for Army and Marine Corps C2 in Selected Functional Areas. Volume 2. Expanded Technical Briefing

Abstract

This briefing reports (1) a review of requirements for ADP support of tactical command and control for the Army and Marine Corps, (2) an analysis of existing or emerging system options of one Service that could potentially be used by the other Service at a system or subsystem level, and (3) identification of options and issues with emphasis on interoperability issues. The assessment is limited to three function areas (maneuver control, fire support, and air operations/airspace control). The system-of-system concepts for Army and Marine Corps tactical systems (ATCCS, MTACCS) are discussed. The assessment concludes that there is substantial commonality of requirements and potential for multi- Service programs leading to fielding common system support of maneuver control, fire support, and battlefield air picture. Further, unless otherwise directed, the two Services may implement incompatible standards for data communications and data management.
