Navy Command and Control: Data Fusion Needs and Capabilities for Battle Group Commanders

Abstract

U.S. Navy battle groups afloat are faced with an increasingly sophisticated array of weapon capabilities from aircraft, surface ships, and submarines that pose a potential threat over large portions of the oceans. This threat capability has led to a significant reduction in the time that battle group commanders have available to react to hostile situations. As a result, the Navy has identified a need for (1) wide-area surveillance, (2) communications that are secure and resistant to electronic jamming, and (3) an automated data fusion capability to more effectively manage information received about this potential threat. Navy battle groups afloat obtain threat data from numerous sources through (Navy Command and Control System) which consists of various facilities, equipment, communications, procedures, and personnel. NCCS is organized into two parts--NCCS afloat and NCCS ashore.
