Command, Control And Platform Electronics Tech
Abstract
This project researches components, software and algorithms that enable commanders at all echelons to have more accurate, useful, and timely information and allows them to execute mission command (MC) from anywhere on the battlefield: in the command post, in vehicles, or dismounted. Emphasis is on advancements to MC computing platforms with a specific emphasis on positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), user/computing platform interaction and cognitive burden reduction; informed operations/data to decisions; MC warfighting function advancement and commander-centric capabilities; using automation to augment or supply staff capabilities. This project researches technologies that support multi-modal man-machine interaction, battle space visualization, positioning and navigation in degraded environments (poor Global Positioning System (GPS) performance), automated cognitive decision aids, real-time collaborative tactical planning tools, data transfer, distributed data bases, open system architectures, and integration concepts which contribute to more efficient mobile operations. This project supports Army science and technology efforts in the Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence Portfolio. 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 project is performed by the Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications - Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
