The Army Tactical Computer System (ATacCS)

The Army Tactical Computer System (ATacCS) provides the Army with a LAN and WAN based command and control system (for in and out of barracks use) across the whole battlespace. This system is at the forefront of technology and heavily based on commercial off the shelf technology. The majority of system managers and maintainers for this system are Royal Signals personnel.

The Joint Operational Command System (JOCS)

In concert with the formation of the Joint Rapid Reaction Force there was a requirement for a joint computer system. The Joint Operational Command System (JOCS) was brought into service during 1999. This system provides a sophisticated operational picture, along with staff tools for controlling joint operations. It uses the latest commercial technology and web browsing techniques for publishing and distributing information. This system, combined with ATacCS, set the standard for future Battlefield Information System Applications to achieve the digitised battlespace of the 21st century.

DEPLOYABLE CIS MODULES (DCM)
