Field Information Communications System (FICS)

The Field Information Communications System (FICS) (referred to as “Syun Lien”) shall provide and support mobile and secure, voice and data communications to the Taiwan military Tactical Operations Center (TOC)-level command posts (CPs), and remote (mobile) users, while addressing evolving Taiwan military doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, personnel and facilities changes.  Expected reduction in forces, along with the proliferation of data, command and control (C2), and situational awareness (SA) systems require the FICS to be more agile and capable, while increasing the capacity to support Taiwan military communications.  The Field Information Communications System (FICS) shall provide the capability of voice and data networks for the Taiwan military Tactical Operations Center (TOC)-level communications by employing technological improvements in radio transmissions, data networking and packetized voice, while minimizing system footprint (power, size, personnel and logistics train).  Included with the deployment of the FICS are a tailored logistics package and support architecture to maintain a high rate of readiness of equipment and personnel.

It is the objective of this program to develop, deliver, field and support a full rate production quantity of the FICS communications nodes for the Taiwan military supporting Taiwan ICE Force communications for at least the next fifteen (15) years.
