Joint Technical Architecture - Army; Version 5.0
Abstract
One of the underlying tenets of information age warfare is that shared situation awareness, coupled with the ability to conduct continuous operations, will allow information age armies to observe, decide, and act faster, more correctly and more precisely than their enemies. This presupposes that information is reliable, timely, available, usable, and shared. The underlying information infrastructure must, therefore, facilitate rather than inhibit the flow of information between sustaining base agencies and strategic tactical force elements and provide the flexibility to accommodate different missions and organizational structures. A Technical Architecture (TA) is a set of building codes. By itself it builds nothing. However, used in conjunction with the other Enterprise Architectures the Operational and Systems Architectures the adoption and enforcement of the TA fosters interoperability between systems, as well dramatically reducing cost, development time, and fielding time for improved systems.
