The network-centric combination of C2PC-CNR and FALCON II radios places the needed command and control information at all levels of command in order to dominate the battlefield. C2PC-CNR, using the built-in FALCON II radio interface, fully exploits the tactical Internet Protocol (IP) networking and internal Global Positioning System (GPS) capabilities of FALCON II radios. The C2PC-CNR geo-referenced display provides a shared operational and tactical picture to all command levels through the use of common mapping and military standard track-plot and land force symbology. This common view of the battlefield among friendly forces effectively acts as a force multiplier and greatly reduces the chance of friendly-fire instances. Mission planning and execution are supported with navigational routes and military graphic overlays which can be transmitted to other C2PC-CNR users. Variable Message Format (VMF) messages can be sent or received directly from the C2PC-CNR situational display screen. C2PC-CNR is easily scalable from a single-station position report monitoring system (Blue Force Tracking) to multiechelon client-server Common Operational/Tactical Picture (COP/CTP) systems. In addition to its use on the battlefield, C2PC-CNR is a valuable tool for land navigation, search and rescue
