One especially useful application of force coordination is the use of a Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS) tactical grid for both the autonomous and cooperative control of guided weapons. Although there are presently no plans or intentions to do so, JTIDS enables a weapon with moderate accuracy low cost inertial reference equipment to regularly update its grid location in a completely passive manner. A full exchange of tactical data (i.e., fire control information) can be made to the weapon over the JTIDS grid. Significantly greater guidance accuracy is also achieved due to the precise Time of Arrival (TOA) information available on the JTIDS grid.
