Command FCS (BCT) system elements are commonly
developed to integrate FCS platforms into an
integrated system that is geographically dispersed
Battle Command incorporates C2, Intelligence,
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR), Embedded
Training, and Sustainment
FCS (BCT)
Net ready information management element of
service based architecture
Heterogeneous transport layer (HMS, GMR, WIN-T
and integrated NMS) provides a survivable,
scalable and reliable communications network
that seamlessly integrates ground, nearground,
airborne and space-borne assets for constant
connectivity and layered redundancy
Networked battle command, embedded training, and
supportability developed Technical View (TV-1)
integrated into SoS level TV-1 standards
supporting integration
Integrated Architecture Provides Design-Phase
Flexibility and Tactical Adaptability For The
Networked FCS (BCT)
