Future Combat Systems (FCS) Enabling Precision

Unclassified 1 Critical Needs of the Army A Modernization Strategy That Provides:

Network

Greatly Enhanced Precision Effects Capability in Precision Operations Modern Platform

Sustained and Dominant

Full Spectrum Landpower 2 The Four Elements of the Army Modernization Strategy

• Rapidly field the best new equipment to the current force. • Upgrade and modernize existing systems to ensure all Soldiers have the equipment they need, including: • Soldiers as a System • Armored Systems • Tactical Wheeled Vehicles • Aviation • Patriot • The Network • Incorporate new technologies derived from Future Combat Systems research and development

• Field the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Brigade Combat Teams.
