Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) is a Linux-based communication platform designed for commanders to track friendly and hostile forces on the battlefield. It increases a vehicle commander's situational awareness of the battlefield by gathering information near real-time based on vehicle locations being updated on the battlefield. This information is viewed graphically, and exchanged via both free and fixed text message formats (instead of verbal collection of reports). The location data for friendly forces is collected through the Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) line of sight tactical radio network and Blue Force Tracking (BFT) satellite network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Next-Generation FBCB2 JCR on the Test Bench )〕 ==Development== The development of the system is managed by Project Manager, Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below, a component of the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office – Command Control and Communications Tactical (PEO C3T). PEO C3T is based at APG at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Aberdeen, Maryland. FBCB2 was tested under the First Digitized Division 4th Infantry Division based in Fort Hood, Texas, and a series of what were called "Advanced Warfighting Experiments" at the National Training Center near Barstow, California, starting in 1997. The division conducted Limited User Test on the equipment in 1998, and the system was approved for production. FBCB2 was then tested and implemented under the Force XXI concept that stemmed from Operation Desert Storm/Shield. Recently the United States Army, the United States Marines Corps have reached agreement to standardize on a new variant of the system to be called Joint Capabilities Release (JCR) developed by the Project Manager, Joint Battle Command-Platform (PM JBC-P) that should start being fielded in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Army upgrades blue force tracking in Afghanistan to prepare for new network )〕 JCR takes advantage of the BFT-2 network, a new satellite infrastructure that can handle significantly more data than the first BFT. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
