Many of the systems have been designed to support strategic requirements. They are capable of providing useful information to tactical commanders if the information can be provided in a timely manner. The Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) program seeks to integrate current and emerging national capabilities into tactical decision-making process. The TENCAP program is based on exploiting current and future tactical potential of national capabilities and integrating these capabilities into the tactical decision making process as rapidly as possible. National systems are designed to support strategic requirements. TENCAP leverages the national technology to provide downlinking of these strategic systems to tactical levels. Technology and applications have evolved so that certain systems are now employed at division level and below. This data provides an accurate and current picture of the enemy and the terrain during planning and execution. National data combined with data form from other sources significantly enhances the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB). For Desert Storm TENCAP systems provided the majority of targeting support for deep operations and imagery for IPB support of operation planning/maneuver for both XVIII and VII Corps. TENCAP systems are also a significant source of support to humanitarian efforts. For Hurricane Andrew TENCAP systems provided the quickest and most detailed damage assessment to the task force commander. They provide the tactical commander the ability to see and hear deep in today's battlefield and then assess the impact of shooting deep. The Army Space Program Office has developed and fielded over sixty systems to both Army and Air Force tactical units. Today the Army TENCAP program is the largest and most successful of the individual services programs.
