Strategic C3 Interoperability Evaluation: Opportunities and Challenges

Abstract

Interoperability can be viewed as a layered process in much the same way as protocols are often characterized. Each layer has particular concerns and different possible techniques for dealing with these problems. In this paper the various issues germane to each layer are identified and discussed in light of current military equipment. The issue of gateway interoperability is dealt with separately from both a theoretical standpoint and by example. Keywords: ARPANET; Packet radios; Radio communications; PRNET(Packet Radio Network); Cryptography.
