System Architectural Concepts: Army Battlefield Command and Control Information Utility (CCIU).

Abstract

This report describes the Command and Control Information Utility (CCIU), which provides a public utility for command and control systems, based on distributed processing. JPL is currently involved in developing the initial phases of the CCIU portion of the CENSEI program. This document, the second in a series, presents concepts and preliminary analysis of the CCIU system architecture. Future revisions of this document will more closely reflect the actual testbed architecture and will emphasize more pragmatic than esoteric concepts. It is intended that this series of documents will converge on a distributed architecture satisfying the guidelines and functional needs of the CCIU. The development of this architecture will require a simplification, condensation and coordination of the material as presented in this document. In addition, concepts reflecting the knowledge gained from currently developed demonstrations will be integrated into the architectural structure. This latter information is important in the progression toward a realizable CCIU architecture capable of operation in a realistic military environment.
