Information Management Utilizing Valued Information at the Right Time (VIRT) as Applied to a Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) Mission

Abstract

This research utilizes the JTAC mission and applies the VIRT concept of smart-push information delivery. Current efforts within DoD focus on achieving a virtual world where all information becomes available through the GIG. This smart pull approach to information delivery does not adequately address the value of information and the absolute requirement to deliver it to the lowest levels when and where needed. The current DoD enterprise wide mentality of IT implementation does not focus on where best to leverage IT in order to achieve an immediate increase in capability. VIRT, as demonstrated in this research, provides an excellent place to start and a great opportunity to utilize technology in an effective way without taking a decade for implementation.
