The Future Combat Systems (FCS) is a joint (across all the military services) networked (connected via advanced communications) systems of systems (one large system made up of 18 individual systems plus the network and Soldier- often referred to as 18 plus one plus one). A Soldier, linked to these platforms and sensors, has access to data that can provide a much more accurate picture of what’s going on around him. The Warfighter Information Network-Tactical [WIN-T] will be the backbone of the Army’s Future Combat Systems.
