As the weather clears at the Nevada Test and Training Range, Soldiers, government personnel, and contractor partners begin to bring the Future Combat Systems (FCS) equipment and network online. The team works quickly getting the unattended ground sensors, mobile ad hoc network, and vehicles ready to execute the experimentation mission plan. Connections from the FCS Brigade Combat Team (BCT) to the Combined Forces Land Component Command (CFLCC), the U.S. Navy (USN) Maritime Operations Center, and the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Combined Air and Space Operations Center must be ready to pass situational awareness (SA), Joint fires requests, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) information. This is just another typical day for the FCS Experimentation Team during a phase of the Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment (JEFX) 2008.
