Challenges for Vertical Collaboration Among Warfighters for Missile Defense C2
Abstract
Implementing an effective Missile Defense plan in a Network Centric environment requires a robust collaboration scheme compatible with multiple military models and simulations. Many technology breakthroughs have occurred allowing defense plans to be rapidly exchanged with C2 systems distributed around the Globe. However, the issue of interpreting the data properly within each C2 model or simulation component remains a stumbling block to effective planning. This paper describes a global collaboration approach using the eXtensible Mark-up Language (XML) to create and validate the plans. Experimentation performed using this approach, by allowing plans to be distributed using a Java Message Service (JMS) or provided by web services, is described to highlight the issues with netted sensors and weapons in military planning. An approach to resolving this issue through a higher level NCW model of the architecture supported by tactical element web services is shown.
