The place of Forward
Headquarters in the
Battlespace
Against this requirement to provide
the Commander with an effective and
resilient headquarters, it was decided
to experiment with 2 small Forward
Headquarters. Images of Forward
Headquarters on EX ARRCADE FUSION
17 built to this requirement are shown
below. The G3 requirement stated that
the headquarters must:
• Comprise no more than 30 key staff.
• Be able to use buildings of opportunity
to lower both visible and thermal
signatures.
• Have
a minimum physical
electromagnetic signature
and
• Plan on moving every 96 hours. • Minimise the number of enablers.
• Location • Always
should
eliminate
the
need to physically camouflage the
Headquarters.
have one of the two
headquarters active on the ground
enabling staff to support the commander
on a continuous basis.
Technical Deductions
The Forward Headquarter build on Ex ARRCADE
FUSION 17
The Forward Headquarters build on Ex ARRCADE
FUSION 17
The Headquarters should be as
unobtrusive as possible and the Size
Weight and Power (SWaP) of the
equipment should be minimised. The
use of commercial off the shelf (COTS)
equipment should be maximised,
although it is acknowledged that this
may not be as ruggedized as its military
equivalent.
