Air Force Tactical C3I Systems.

Abstract

An overview of Air Force Tactical C3I Systems and their functions is provided. The inter-relationships with other systems with which these systems must interoperate are pointed out. The rationale, developed in the joint tactical architectural effort of the Electronic Systems Divison of AFSC and the Tactical Air Forces Interoperability Group, to choose development paths to achieve future operational goals is described. Major problems encountered in the acquisition and operation of tactical C3 systems and a list, and in some cases a description, of promising technology areas aimed at alleviating these problems are discussed. Finally, the impacts of technology and architecture development on future tactical C3 system developments are related. (Author)
