WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Army is seeking industry feedback as it kicks off an overhaul of software designed to coordinate the use of mortars, missiles and more on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service posted a request for information for the modernization of the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System<\/a>, also known as AFATDS, and the development of the Joint Targeting Command and Coordination Suite, or JTC2S, on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A consortium-like approach is expected, meaning several companies will likely contribute to the final products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see the future of fires built around teams doing the work instead of one industry partner, which is a change in strategy from the past,\u201d Lt. Col. Timothy Godwin, a product manager at the Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical<\/a>, or PEO C3T, said in a statement. \u201cMultiple industry partners can be part of the solutions to building an agile, iterative software for the modernization of our fires products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t
