text: ADAM Cell
  10-12. ADAM cells have 4 to 12 ADA Soldiers, depending upon echelon. A headquarters battery in a
  maneuver enhancement brigade, for instance, contains 4 ADA Soldiers, while the corps, with ADAM cells
  in the main CP and tactical CP, requires 12 ADA Soldiers.
  10-13. As staff elements, ADAM cells do not have assigned sensors or shooters. Their major items of
  equipment are C2 related. Current ADAM cells contain FAAD C2 and AMDWS hardware and software as
  well as communications equipment to enable integration with the supported force and into the joint data net.
  ADAM cells contain a suite of communications equipment, to include the Multifunction Information
  Distribution System, Joint Tactical Terminal, Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (also known as
  EPLRS), and SINCGARS. This equipment collectively provides access to the joint community via link 16,
  affording the ability to transmit and receive near-real-time tactical intelligence, targeting, position location,
  and identification information.
  10-14. Equipment is mounted on two HMMWVs and powered by a 10-kilowatt generator. In the future, the
  high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles are projected to be replaced by medium tactical vehicles.
  COMMAND AND CONTROL
  10-15. C2 is facilitated through FAAD C2 and AMDWS. ADAM cells use LandWarNet and tactical data
  links to transport data to effect C2. LandWarNet is leveraged to provide planning and sustainment support
  and to distribute airspace management and control data to corps, division, and brigade elements. The tactical
  network enables AMD force operations and engagement operations at the maneuver element.
  10-16. Figure 10-1 on page 10-4 reflects the ADAM cell’s C2 relationships at the joint regional/sector and
  Army division and below levels. As depicted in the figure and described in previous chapters, engagement
  authority lines emanate from the RADC or SADC and engagement control from the ADA battalion/task
  force, ADA battery, or SHORAD platoon. The ADAM cell participates in the planning and coordination of
  AMD operations with joint and Army elements; it is not involved in the engagement authorization or
  engagement control chains.
  * A BCT ADAM cell is most likely linked to the ADAFCO in a sector air defense command center
  and generally monitors engagements by a supporting ADA unit.
  * Planning and coordination is conducted between the ADAM cells at the corps, division, and
  brigade levels; ADAM cells and ADA units, from the AAMDC to platoon level; ADAM cell and
  non-ADA elements in a BCT conducting air defense operations (combined arms for air defense);
  and an ADAM cell and base defense operations center when the ADAM cell is deployed on an
  installation.
  * An ADAM cell forwards air defense data to the non-ADA elements in the BCT to allow them to
  conduct air engagements in self-defense per the ROE.
