Command Automated Intelligence Support System. The AN/UYK‑71A, FAISS,
is a corps and division Disk Operating System (DOS) compatible processing and
dissemination system. The system was one of the first desktop computers
fielded to corps through ACR TCAEs in the continental United States (CONUS).
The system allows analysts to import, export, and manage SIGINT, topographic,
collateral, and national systems databases and messages. Any database
records, such as unit position or topographic indicators, can be plotted on
maps displayed on the system's video monitors. The FAISS will be retained in
some units to provide a minimum automation capability until ASAS is fully
fielded |

force projection bases |
Army
forces may deploy from Top station directly to the AO or may move to the AO
through force projection bases. Intermediate staging bases and power
projection platforms are force projection bases. Force projection bases
influence operations in a fashion similar to Top stations. Sometimes one part
of the deploying force will be at the force projection base while another
operates in the AO. The deployed force may receive combat support (CS) and CSS
from the force projection base for some or all of the operation. (FM 3‑0,
2001) See also battlespace. |
