SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) Battle Management/C3 (Command, Control, and Communications) Networking Technology Program Plan

Abstract

The Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA) has collected and analyzed information on network technology that is relevant to Battle Management Command, Control, and Communications (BM/C3). This memorandum report represents a program plan that will provide the SDIO BM C3 directorate with administrative and technical insight into network technology. This program plan focuses on C3 network concepts and provides information and analysis to the SDIO to be used in formulating budget requirements for FY 1988 and beyond. Based upon analysis of network requirements and ongoing programs, recommendations have been made for research areas that should be funded, including both the continuation of current work and the initiation of new tasks. While emphasis here is on the SDIO-funded tasks, other relevant government-sponsored and commercial efforts, such as packet radio networks, also have been examined.
