Multipurpose Activity Definitions and Interfaces to Support Operational Needs (MADISON)

Abstract

Multipurpose Activity Definitions and Interfaces to Support Operational Needs (MADISON) is a proposed operator-oriented approach to Battle-Management/ Command and Control, Communications, Computing, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance/Navigation (BM/C4ISR/N). MADISON responds to several challenges within this broad domain: coordinating independent, in-service systems to support complex operations; interoperability; operator training and operational effectiveness; and, efficient resource allocation. MADISON is neither platform-centric nor network-centric; it is operator-centric, intended to position the operator to fight the battle rather than fight the system.
