Digitization of the Battlefield

Abstract

The introduction of information based weapon systems capable of providing combat vehicle crews with not only the effective firepower of larger organizations but also the knowledge base to coordinate and employ both on-board and external sensors and weapons will change the current tactics, techniques and procedures of the U.S. Army. Various issues associated with the 'digitization of the battlefield' are discussed including protocols, communications requirements, organizational changes, sensor fusion options, and the impact of technology on 21st century warfare.
