z
An immediate method of notifying a unit if they are within the
danger area of a warning event (for example, an air defense
warning). The platform distance away from the warning event
can be displayed in meters.
(c) Communications management provides a means to—
z
Preformat and provide standard digitized preaddressed
message formats.
z
Establish electronic message folders and address groups to
more efficiently monitor and track incoming and outgoing
message traffic.
z
Provide periodic reminders of required activities or reports (for
example, periodic submission of SITREPs).
NOTE: The SINCGARS radio transmits and receives SA and C2 between
platforms on the same data net frequencies if SINCGARS is attached.
SINCGARS is the primary communications system for the FBCB2 below
platoon level. It is used to transmit and receive SA and C2 between platforms
using data network frequencies.
(d) Interface with other Army Battle Command Systems (for example,
support to nondigitized and digitized forces). Communications planning considers the
interoperability between the biological-detection unit and the unit being supported (for
example, a JTF, other service, HN, and/or Army major command). For example, if an
Army nondigitized force unit is supported, the appropriate nondigitized (voice
communications) means will be used. Internal to the biological-detection unit, FBCB2
capabilities can be used (distance and other factors being considered); however, there
must be interoperability for submission of reports to the required C2 node.
NOTE: At the biological-detection company and platoon HQ level, data transfer
occurs through use of the EPLRS. The EPLRS is both a data radio and a
location device and the primary data transfer system for those C2 nodes
equipped with EPLRS. EPLRS acts as a hub, relaying information to platforms
outside the local net. Information is relayed to the local net SA server, which
relays it over EPLRS to the receiving end. The EPLRS transmits and receives
SA and C2 from the FBDB2 system.
(6) Limitations.
z
When a user must change platforms due to battle damage or mission
requirements, data that was stored on the previous FBCB2 is lost.
z
The computer and keyboard are susceptible to damage from dust and
dirt. Users should take all practical steps to prevent this from
happening.
z
Interoperability must be assured to ensure communications between
biological-detection units and nondigitized and digitized units.
