ASAS is the Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) Battlefield Functional Area (BFA) component of the Army Battle Command System (ABCS). ASAS is an automated intelligence system that helps the commander rapidly gather, record, analyze, and disseminate the often-overwhelming volume of data available on the battlefield. The Communications Control Set (CCS) is the primary communications processor for ASAS. There are four variants of CCS, two corps level and two division level sets. The CCS provides a communications front end, interfacing other ASAS enclaves with various communications systems. The CCS receives and relays information from adjacent, superior, and subordinate units to and from the intelligence processing enclaves. At division level it also connects multiple sensors directly to the ASAS. Each division level CCS has two low speed and two high speed serial communications canisters with associated cryptographic and mode/signaling equipment. The corps level sets have no radio capability but do have four (4) additional high-speed serial communications canisters. Upgrades to CCS will modernize the hardware platform, bring the configuration to a common baseline, and achieve compliance with current ABCS standards
