Exercise Polar Quake highlighted the TACP Weapon System’s capability to provide the CFACC the ability to expand the command and control network and pass real or near real-time intelligence, battlespace situational awareness, and enhance the Find, Fix, Track, Target, Engage, Assess (F2T2EA) process while operating in austere Arctic environmental conditions.
