Cooperative Engagement Capability/ CEC

Definition

CEC fuses radar measurements from many ships and aircraft into a single, fire-control-quality track picture, enabling any platform to engage on another's data. CEC is one of the longest-running production examples of distributed sensor-to-shooter C2 and a reference architecture for emerging joint-fires fabrics.
