Fire Support C2 Family

The Fire Support C2 Family program is a vital part of the Army's strategy to advance its Long Range Precision Fires and Network modernization goals. This initiative aims to automate the planning and execution of fire support operations, ensuring that munitions are effectively matched with appropriate weapons to adequately cover targets. The program includes three software-only systems that utilize a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) approach, allowing for incremental software updates to address the evolving needs of the Warfighter.

A key component of this program is the Precision Fires-Dismounted/Mounted (PF-D/M) system. This system equips Forward Observers and Fire Support Teams with the tools needed to efficiently execute fire missions. The PF-D application operates on the Nett Warrior End User Device, enabling dismounted teams to accurately locate ground targets and quickly process Calls for Fires. In contrast, PF-M replaces older systems at maneuver company levels, residing on Mounted Family of Computing Systems computers to meet Mounted Computing Environment requirements.

Another significant element is the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). This system serves both the Army and Marine Corps by providing automated command, control, and communications support for fire operations. AFATDS plays a crucial role in sensor-to-shooter links and supports various capabilities such as Extended Range Canon Artillery and Precision Strike Missile Systems. It integrates with over 80 battlefield systems, including those from Navy and Air Force, ensuring interoperability with coalition partners through the Artillery System Cooperation Agreement.

The Joint Targeting Integrated Command and Coordination Suite (JTIC2S) is designed to replace legacy systems like JADOCS, addressing obsolescence issues while enhancing targeting capabilities for joint operations. JTIC2S aims to deliver a synchronized targeting tactical picture across military branches, supporting Joint All Domain Command and Control and Multi Domain Operations against near-peer adversaries. Development efforts for JTIC2S began in FY 2024, with fielding of a minimal viable product anticipated in FY 2025.
