Book excerpt: This annotated briefing documents the results of an independent assessment of two fire support systems, the Army's Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) and the Marine Integrated Fire and Air Support System (MIFASS). The analyses considered three alternatives; (1) Marines terminate MIFASS and join AFATDS, (2) Army terminates AFATDS and joins MIFASS, and (3) continue both efforts as presently programmed. The recommendations include continuing AFATDS, completing the MIFASS operational test, putting MIFASS developmental equipment in an operational Marine Amphibious Brigade, testing the adaptability of AFATDS to meet the Marine Corps' needs, and providing a detailed development and fielding plan for the Marine Corps' system based on the results of the Adaptability Evaluation Program and the MIFASS operational test.
