Command, Control And Platform Electronics Tech
Abstract
This Project researches moveable and mobile command post hardware and other 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. 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; and commander-centric capabilities, including 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, open system architectures, and integration concepts which contribute to more efficient expeditionary and uninterrupted operations. Work in this Project is related to, and fully coordinated with PE 0603772A (Adv Tactical Computer Science & Sensor Technology) / Project 101 (Tactical Command and Control). All FY20 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
