IVIS Operational Concept

Abstract

The author presents the concept for the use of a near to mid term Intervehicular information System (IVIS). The concept is intended to describe the IVIS in terms of intravehicular and intervehicular capabilities. The concept describes the use of IVIS at the individual, platoon, company/team, battalion/task force, and brigade echelons. Use of the IVIS in a team or task force organization is based on the capability of all members of the fighting organization to share IVIS like information. The concept focuses on use of the IVIS pre/post combat and during mission execution. It is anticipated that IVIS capabilities will be used similarly before and after contact with the enemy, but in a significantly different manner during actual mission execution. The concept provides the reasons for the distinctive use of the system during each phase of the mission, as well as some examples of how it might be used at the various levels of command and control within the task force.
