Together, intelligence data and Blue Forces Tracking are fused to generate the digital
map based Common Operational Picture (COP), which replaces traditional
paper-based situational maps used for many generations. COP provides
full and realistic presentation of all players - both hostile and
friendly, refreshed in near-real-time updates. The situational picture
presents all elements with precise locations, generated by reported
GPS coordinates received from each element. Targets, enemy activity
and order of battle are depicted in specific or generalized symbols,
prepared by Brigade intelligence, and fused with information received
from higher echelons. Cartographic presentations are also provided for
logistical, service and combat support elements, utilizing their
specific information systems, planning and reporting.
