What is TACWEB?
TACWEB is a simple, easy-to-use
classified, dynamic, tactical information management system that tracks the battle status
of units, battlefield operating systems (BOS) and other key information such as
significant events, commander situation reports, weather, priority information reports,
personnel status reports, and logistics status reports. It interfaces with WarLord and
Army Deep Operations Computer System (ADOCS) to provide a common picture of the
battlefield. TACWEB minimizes network bandwidth requirements to be highly effective over
Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE). TACWEB provides an effective information management
system that quickly focuses leaders on issues and provides a degree of synergy previously
unseen. It is a combat multiplier. |
