Appendix G CHRONOLOGY OF ARMY DIGITIZATION EFFORTS 1 December 1991-U.S. Army Tank-Automotive Command rolls out the first M1A2 Abrams tank at Lima, Ohio. This is the first U.S. tank equipped with the InterVehicular Information System (IVIS) that permits the automatic sharing of digitized positional and other combat-related data with commanders and similarly equipped vehicles.l 31 March 1992-GEN Frederick M. Franks, CG, TRADOC, directs the Commanders of CAC and the Armor, Infantry, Aviation, Field Artillery, Engineer, and Air Defense Artillery Centers, with the Armor Center in the lead, to begin working on doctrine and experimentation to validate his belief that the Army is about to experience significant improvements in its battlefield command and control at the brigade level and below. This belief flowed from the conjuncture of technologies-IVIS and the Global Positioning System (GPS)-that enhanced situational awareness and target identification. 2 21 August 1992-MG Paul Funk, Armor Center Commander, briefs GEN Gordon R. Sullivan, CSA, and GEN Franks by VTC during Sullivan's visit to TRADOC headquarters at Ft. Monroe, VA , on battlefield digitization efforts and plans 3 27 August 1992-GEN Franks directs the 199 1-1995 newly formed Mounted Battlespace Battle Lab (MBBL) at Ft. Knox, KY, to: "(1) optimize situational awareness and target handoff of combined arms task force (particularly among maneuver, fire support, and aviation elements) to reduce fratricide and maximize combat power; . . . (4) in coordination with Battle Command Battle Lab, optimize horizontal integration of digitized information flow at brigade level and below."4 September 1992-TRADOC and the MBBL exercise an M1A2-equipped platoon from 3d Bn, 8t h Cav, at the NTC with other units from the 1st Cavalry Division. The platoon demonstrates abilities to operate with increased dispersion, to anticipate events better, and to act in greater concert than M1A1-equipped platoons 5 14 October 1992-First LAM Board of Directors meeting approves investigation of battlefield digitization as a warfighting issue within the Louisiana Maneuvers. The meeting includes a remote demonstration for the attendees of IVIS and other battlefield digitization technologies from the Armor Center 6 30 November-18 December 1992- MBBL conducts a Battlefield Synchronization Demonstration at Ft. Knox to test digital communications scenarios between a tactical commander and elements of a company
