FBCB2

FBCB2

Force XXI Battlefield Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) is a communication platform designed for commanders to track friendly forces on the battlefield. It increases a vehicle commander's situational awareness of the battlefield by gathering information graphically instead of collecting reports verbally.

FBCB2 was tested under the First Digitized Division 4th Infantry Division based in Fort Hood, Texas. The division conducted Limited User Test on the equipment. It was then tested and implemented under the Force XXI concept that stemmed from Operation Desert Storm/Shield. The United States Army awarded General Dynamics contracts to equip the M-1 Abrams AIM refurbished/upgraded tanks with this system.
