INTRODUCTION
To achieve the necessary initiative, agility, depth, and synchronization required to fight on the modem
battlefield, commanders at all echelons must direct activities based on sound and timely decisions. To
help commanders make the right decisions in the heat of combat, accurate and timely information must
be exchanged both vertically and laterally. Information is the medium of command and control (C2).
To support the ever growing demands of information exchange, a system possessing multiple and
redundant voice and data processing was needed.
