Appendix DFUTURE DATABASED-16. The Army is working towards a future, joint digital integrated explosive hazard database that mergescurrent Army Battle Command System (ABCS) into a single system. The MEOICC/EHCC is a likelychoice for the repository of this single system.D-17. Information would be reportable via Force XXI battle command-brigade and below (FBCB2)/MCSlight/ABCSsystems. The reporting unit would populate the database directly, as opposed to “through” aspecific command post (CP).D-18. The database would link into COP graphics simultaneously and be displayed in unit tacticaloperations centers (TOCs) on an explosive hazard overlay. The data could include minefield information,UXO locations, IED trend patterns, and so forth, and units could filter and tailor the information as deemedfit. The information could be used by CPs for various functions―predict explosive hazard information byS-2s and engineers; coordinate detection assets; plan and coordinate EOD and engineer neutralization anddisposal capabilities; divert units to different routes to avoid hazards; prevent enemy emplacement ofexplosive hazards through planned and coordinated combat patrols; and protect forces using the technicalinformation in the database to synchronize CREW systems.D-19. The database would be extensive and expand beyond the current capabilities of the EHDB. As EODand engineer units dispose of explosive hazards, they would report the disposals using the same systems,and COP graphics would be automatically populated with the correct information displaying the removalof the explosive hazards from routes and areas. The database will be able to communicate automaticallywith the JDIGS. Future databases may include JDIGS capabilities in order to migrate to a single explosivehazard system that is useful for all organizations.
