C4I is a military term meant to summarize factors military theorists consider when planning how headquarters can control their subordinate units. The "C4" part of the term summarizes four words that begin with the letter "C" --"command", "control", "communications", and "computers". The "I" portion refers to "intelligence". Headquarters denotes the location where most, if not all, of the important functions of an organization are concentrated. ...
Military theorists previously used similar terms, which summarized fewer factors.
The United States is aggressively exploiting these technologies in order to achieve information superiority, with the objective of achieving better and faster decisions, and continually projecting, albeit with uncertainties, future desired states and directing actions to bring about those future states.
One important capability that C4I systems provide commanders is situational awareness--information about the location and status of enemy and friendly forces.
And, of course, to be effective, command decisions must be implemented, a process to which C4I technologies are also relevant (e.g., in speeding up the link through which targeting information is passed to weapons, the so-called sensor-to-shooter link).
TACCS C4i has been developed over the past 5 years and now leads the world in its ability to integrate with most modern armies.
The TACCS C4i system has been developed to facilitate the Platoon Commanders, ability to plan and download electronic orders to the Sections, thus making every man on the battlefield visible for the first time.
