OMING TO A TANK, (--76, OR AIRCRAFT NEAR YOU OVER THE NEXT DECADE IS THE JOINT TACTICAL RADIO
SYSTEM )*423+. *423 WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE SURE THAT NO MATTER WHAT PIECE OF COMMUNICATIONS
EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO hTALKv TO ANY OTHER PIECE OF COMMO GEAR.
4HE HEART AND SOUL OF *423 IS COMPUTER SOFTWARE. /T IS A FAMILY OF SOFTWARE THAT WILL MAKE
SURE EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME SHEET OF MUSIC SINGING THE SAME TUNE.
7ITH THIS EMPHASIS ON SOFTWARE, IT WILL BE EASY TO DISMISS THE HARDWARE AS SECONDARY.
7HEN THAT HAPPENS, PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE FALLS OFF AND EQUIPMENT FALLS APART. 4HE BEST
SOFTWARE IN THE WORLD WILL NOT WORK IF THE HARDWARE IT'S PROGRAMMED INTO IS NOT TOP0NOTCH.
4HE WORST THING IN BATTLE IS A WEAPON THAT WON'T lRE, BUT COMING IN A CLOSE SECOND IS A
RADIO THAT WON'T COMMUNICATE. -AKE SURE AS NEW RADIO EQUIPMENT AND NEW COMMUNICATIONS
TECHNIQUES HIT THE lELD THAT BASIC 1- IS NOT NEGLECTED. (IGH0FALUTIN' EQUIPMENT STILL NEEDS
DOWN0AND0DIRTY PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. 7ITHOUT 1-, YOU'LL BE REDUCED TO SENDING SMOKE
SIGNALS ON THE MODERN BATTLElELD.
