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 success of military operations depends on timely, reliable, secure, and synchronized dissemination of command and control and relevant situational awareness information to every military echelon. While wired communications and networks are fairly well developed, providing assured high-bandwidth mobile wireless capabilities that match or exceed commercial wired infrastructure is needed to meet the demands of military users. The goal of the Information Integration Systems project is to develop and demonstrate technologies that will provide effective communications to U.S. forces. Approaches to this goal include developing technologies in these areas: - High-Capacity Links technologies - enables greater back-haul capability. - Advanced Networking technologies - supports resilience, adaptability, scalability, and composable systems to enable adaptive effects webs. - Low Probability of Detection and Anti-Jam (LPD/AJ) technologies - provides assured communications in very high-threat environments. - Novel Radio Frequency and Spectral Sensing (RF/SS) - supports efficient spectrum management in congested environments and detection of electromagnetic threats.
