Blue Force Tracker fielding (early 2000s)
The Army fielded Blue Force Tracker during Iraq operations, giving units digital position sharing for the first time. Units could see friendly positions on a map instead of relying on radio reports.
Reduced friendly fire incidents and improved coordination between units.
Established the foundation for modern digital battle command systems.
Farsight 2.0 extends this shift from position-sharing to terrain intelligence sharing, giving units a common operating picture of the ground itself.
