Database Management System Interface Standard for Navy Next Generation Computing Resources
Abstract
This paper is a snapshot of the Navy's use of database management system (DBMS) technology for Command, Control and Combat Systems. Our long-term goal is to contribute to the development of a standard DBMS interface (DBMSIF) to promote interoperability among Navy systems. This paper is an excerpt from the paper that was developed under Naval Ocean Systems Center (NOSC) tasking for the SPAWAR 3243, Next Generation Computer Resources (NGCR) Program. Navy systems have a requirement for managing a massive command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) system encompassing land, surface, subsurface, air, and space data elements. These systems ultimately control thousands of complex sensor, combat direction and weapon systems aboard hundreds of tactical units. Driving such systems are significant requirements for management of such objects, discriminating the real threats among them, and tracking them with realtime updates using an intelligent analysis of which objects are benign (friendly, neutral or decoys) and which are threats. The systems are necessarily distributed and require substantial data which must be consistent through time, often requiring the meeting of a hard realtime deadline schedule for data availability and accessibility.
