US Army upgrade fire support systems: what is known about the JTC2S prototype

It is noted that JTIC2S will replace today's combined automated coordination system of deep operations, or Jadocs, which is much more dependent on people's stationery. For example, if the calculation commander finds a tank battalion of the enemy, he needs a lot of time and effort to find out what tanks are, what firearies are at the disposal of services and partners, and who should be called to complete the task.

"Currently, officers from targets and intelligence make cards manually with spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations," the observers write. Representative of the command of command of command of command Lieutenant Colonel Tim Godwin noted that it is a very time -consuming process that requires a lot of manual labor, so the JTIC2S system is intended to automate this work. Meanwhile, the implementation of the project depends on the military budget for 2024, which Congress has not yet approved.

The JTC2S will provide fire support for the United Army to jointly manage goals through access to the combined and multi -dominant intelligence databases. The goal is to offer commanders the development of a digital target, as well as the possibility of joint and organic fire support. JTC2S enables the commanders of individual armed battalions at the Military Action level to integrate efforts from targeting into a single user interface through the overall operational picture (COP).

In addition, the system will be able to process a large number of firearms in the face of confrontation in large -scale combat operations. Among other things, the system will make it possible: according to Godwin, the plan is to send "the minimum viable version of the" JTIC2S product in field conditions for replacement of available systems with further refinement.
