C4I & Software Intensive Systems Test
Abstract
The Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence (C4I) and Software Intensive Systems (SIS) Test (C4T) project is pursuing technologies to emulate Net-Centric Military Operations in a System of Systems (SoS) test environment. Likewise, C4T is developing technologies to analyze the increasing mass of structured and unstructured data generated by C4I and SIS testing. The technologies are required when testing sensor platforms, command and control systems and weapon platforms that support the kill chain in a Joint operation. These systems must be evaluated for their ability to provide the accurate, timely transfer of data (e.g., target tracks, weapons allocation, mission tasking, and situational awareness) as the data passes among the Services and coalition participants. The technologies within C4T will remove undesired distributed testing biases while improving test agility and the tester’s ability to effectively conduct rapid analysis of “Big Data” and automated test reporting. C4T advances test automation features (test planning, test execution, Big Data collection, analysis, and visualization) that enable the virtual integration of Department of Defense (DoD) weapon laboratories and open air ranges. Using modeling and simulation (M&S) along with hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL)laboratories, the effectiveness of Joint missions can be assessed in terms of system-of-systems interoperability and effectiveness in executing Joint mission operations, including testing of weapons and command and control systems accessing and providing information.
