Advanced Programming Concepts (APC) proposes to expand a previously developed tactical display system (tds) to orient it for use by tank and other armored vheicle commanders. This tds will (for phase I) be updated via small vhf portable radios using x.25 protocol. The tactical display will consist of terrain, own unit position, friendly and enemy unit positions and map overlays for reference. Free text (intel assessments, tacrep/tacelint comments) and radius-of-effect (radar detection, field of fire) data also can be display on enemy unit. Message updates will use faad message formats except for special free text and field-of-effect messages.
