Impact of the WIS Modernization Plan on the Joint Deployment System.
Abstract
The Joint Deployment System (JDS) forms the junctions among deliberate planning, time-sensitive planning, and the deployment of forces. The WWMCCS Intercomputer Network (WIN) supplies the necessary interconnectivity among the joint deployment community computer systems. In January 1982, the WWMCCS Information System (WIS) modernization program was launched with objectives including the modernization of WWMCCS hardware and software and the transfer from the present WWMCCS network system to the Defense Data Network (DDN). Because of proven WIN unreliability, the JDS required site-unique software development to supplement present WIN software. Individualized applications software, integrated with the improved network reliability and survivability of the DDN, will enhance the present C3 system. This thesis demonstrates that the total implementation of the WIS involves additional modifications in site-unique applications, standardized procedures for software development, updated hardware technology, and a multi-level security system.
