COMMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS

Abstract

The Command, Control and Communications Systems program element is budgeted in the Advanced Technology Development Budget Activity because its purpose is to demonstrate and evaluate advanced information systems research and development concepts. The goals of the Command and Control Information Systems project are to develop and test innovative, secure architectures and tools to enhance information processing, dissemination and presentation capabilities for the commander. This will give the commander insight into the disposition of enemy and friendly forces, a joint situational awareness picture that will improve planning, decision-making and execution support capability and provide secure multimedia information interfaces and assured software to "on the move" users. Integration of collection management, planning and battlefield awareness programs is an essential element for achieving battlefield dominance through assured information systems. The goals of the Information Integration Systems project are to take diverse data inputs from a variety of sources, efficiently disseminate the information, and perform distributed and dynamic all-source correlation and fusion to produce an integrated, geo-spatially referenced, battlefield database and knowledge-base. The principal element of this project is assured communications using standard and non-traditional means, on and off the battlefield. The goals of the Secure Information and Network Systems project are to develop and test emerging computer, communications, and network systems where the impact of the systems and the vulnerabilities of the systems are not kinetically based. Network Security technologies arising from other projects will be further identified, developed, integrated, and tested.
