US Army & CONDOR
• 9 June USMC CONDOR Team met with US Army Central
Technical Support Facility (CTSF) Staff, Fort Hood, Texas
• Two US Army FBCB2 HMMWVS have been shipped to
SPAWAR, Charleston for CONDOR Gateway Integration
• US Army, USMC, and CenGen will cooperate on US Army
to USMC EPLRS issues concerning interoperability to
include COP-B

Army Integration Effort
Phase 1: Integrate existing GW configuration with Army
EPLRS and FBCB2. Intent is to provide a viable “solution” to
address US Army’s EPLRS/FBCB2 extended range requirement.

Phase 2: Integrate existing GW configuration with Army
EPLRS and extend “data pipe” from USMC Battalion EPLRS
community to US Army Brigade EPLRS community. Intent is to
create network extensions to allow TCP/IP communications
between two units in a joint environment.

Phase 3: Utilize “data pipe” from USMC Battalion EPLRS
community to US Army Brigade EPLRS community to enable
passing of Situational Awareness (SA) and Position Location
Information (PLI) utilizing each service’s C2 system. Intent is to
utilize network extensions to enable C2PC and FBCB2
interoperability.

Assumptions for Phase 1
• FBCB2 3.6x with EPLRS 11.3
• Planned EPLRS fragmentation – not
automatically “self-healing” capability
• Only two fragments, and both fragments
share the same Bde-wide SA and C2
needlines
• If time permits, will relax some of these
16
Scenarios for Phase 1
• 1-10 Cav unit is well forward of DTAC/4th
Brigade, so that it has lost Bde-wide EPLRS
connectivity
• A company of 1BN22 is well forward of
1BDE and 1BN22, so that it has lost Btnlocal and Bde-wide EPLRS connectivity
