Command, Control, Communications Technology

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) researches and investigates communications, mission command (MC), and electronics components, sub-components, software and protocols that provide the Army with enhanced capabilities for secure, mobile, networked communications, assured information delivery, and presentation of information that enables decision-making. Commercial technologies are continuously investigated and leveraged where possible. Project 779 researches and develops MC software, algorithms, protocols, architectures, and devices that enable management of information across the tactical and strategic battle space; provides automated cognitive reasoning and decision making aids; allows timely distribution, presentation/display and use of MC data on Army platforms; and researches alternatives to Global Positioning System (GPS) for positioning, navigation and timing. Project H92 supports research in communications components, software, algorithms and protocols, which allow field commanders to communicate on-the-move to/from virtually any location, through a seamless, secure, self-organizing, self-healing network. Work in this PE complements PE 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers), PE 0602270A (Electronic Warfare Technology) , PE 0602705A (Electronics and Electronic Devices), PE 0603270A (Electronic Warfare Technology), PE 0603772A (Advanced Tactical Computer Science and Sensor Technology), and PE 0603794A (Command, Control and Communications Advanced Technology), and is coordinated with PE 0601104A (University and Industry Research Centers), PE 0602120A, (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602783A (Computer and Software Technology), and PE 0602874A (Advanced Concepts and Simulation). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications-Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
