Navy Collaborative Integrated Information Technology Initiative
Abstract
Progress report for the NAVCIITI Program for the 8th monthly period of the grant. The long-term objective of this program is to provide strong, integrated research capabilities in broad user communications testbeds, systems engineering, fiber optic sensors and transmission devices, secure and reliable wireless communications, effective user-friendly human computer interfaces, and scientific visualization to the Navy community. This initiative will improve the Navy's capabilities to support distributed computing, integrated services training, education, information dissemination, and simulation. The anticipated multiyear program will establish a Navy Collaborative Integrated Information Technology Initiative (NAVCIITI, pronounced "NAV city") by creating an Advanced Communication and Information Technology Center (ACITC), on campus at Virginia Tech, integrating the efforts of more than 60 investigators currently under contract to the Navy by providing equipment and facilities for their effort, and using the collective capabilities of NAVCIITI to support Navy initiatives in distributed computing, integrated services training, education, information dissemination, and simulation, especially for purposes of network-centric battle management, managing and maintaining C4ISR attributes, and enhancement of the Naval intranet. The scope of the proposed program was developed as a result of discussions, and briefings with a group of Navy unit leaders.
