Command and Control (C2) Technology
Abstract
The Air Force requires command and control technologies that will provide the next generation of weapon systems with improved processing and presentation of information for real-time, distributed battle management and control. Technologies in this project must be capable of taking advantage of future net-centric environments including new structured and ad hoc processes in response to rapidly changing warfare challenges. Technologies being developed will increase capability, quality, and information interoperability, while reducing the cost of C2 systems and infrastructure. Technology development in this project focuses on planning and assessing techniques knowledge bases, distributed information systems, and information management and distribution services. Advances in planning and assessment technologies will vastly improve the military decision making process within C2 systems. Advances in the ability to rapidly detect, classify, identify, and continuously track objects and events will improve the awareness and understanding and prediction of adversarial intentions, allowing the development of various courses of action to counter their intentions. Advances in the development of very large comprehensive knowledge bases to rapidly formulate and create new knowledge are needed by the Expeditionary Aerospace Force. Advances in distributed intelligent information systems will allow automatic rapid reconfiguration of C2 centers to respond to varying crisis levels, as required, by a Net-Centric Aerospace Force. Advances in robust information management and dissemination technologies will ensure the delivery of high-quality, timely, secure information to the warfighter.
