Alternatives for Extending the European Distribution System's Log C3I (Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence) Subsystem to the Collocated Operating Base Level.
Abstract
This thesis analyzed the communications and Automated Data Processing Equipment (ADPE) options available to extend the original configuration of the new European Distribution System's (EDS) Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I) subsystem from Europe's Main Operating Base level to the Collocated Operating Base level. The EDS is a space parts distribution system based on three major sub-systems: dedicated aircraft; in-theater warehouses and a automated C3I system. The basic approach taken to conduct this analysis was to first determine acceptable configurations for the extended system. With these in mind, C3 systems that are fielded or soon to be implemented in the European theater were examined for possible integration into EDS. Additionally, emerging and other possible C3 technologies were identified for further analysis. These preceding steps provided a list of C3 alternatives for evaluation under a technique known as the Brown-Gibson approach which rank-orders the options using both subjective and objective (cost) criteria.
