Battle Command On The Move

Abstract

Modern combined arms conflicts demand an accelerated tempo of operations requiring the rapid processing and transfer of information to the relevant location on the battlefield. A means to gain timely and useful information quickly while on-the-move will enable the tactical commander to make informed decisions in a manner consistently faster than the enemy. The mission of Battle Command on the Move (BCOTM) systems is to provide the tactical commander with the same level of Situational Awareness (SA) enabling. Situational Understanding (SU) at the decisive point on the battlefield. This allows his units to see first, understand first, act first and finish decisively. Designed for On-the-Move missions, BCOTM enables commander centric operations versus command post centric operations by bringing unprecedented SA and SU to the commander. Previously this type of information was only available in a fixed command post, far removed from the decisive point on the battlefield.
