The BLINK command is used to cause a color map entry to periodically alternate between two colors... The mechanism for performing this alternation is called a blink process. This process periodically overwrites the contents of the current in-use drawing color(the "blink-from" color) and substitutes the current contents of another entry in the color map, which is called the "blink-to" color. 2, record 1, English, - blinking%20process

The MCS system provides the primary tactical planning tool for the brigade. Supported by graphics decision support tools, including digital maps, aerial or satellite photos, dynamic 3D "flyover" view of the battlespace, and mobility analysis of the terrain, map overlays with intelligence and battle resources by unit. Commanders can quickly and clearly analyze different courses of action and take decisions based on thorough analysis of up-to-date situational assessment, various maneuver schemes, doctrine, and changes encountered during the course of action. Once detailed plan is determined, the MCS prepare and send warning operations orders, and related annexes. During the mission, the system provides automatic updates of friendly/enemy unit movement locations and battlefield geometry. As all information is maintained on the database, re-tasking of units is rapid and flexible. As an integrated part of the battle command systems, MCS receives information from external sources and updates those sources within predetermined operational plans. Such sources include intelligence, fire support, supply status and air operations requests. 2, record 2, English, - Maneuver%20Control%20System
