Fuselet Authoring, Execution, and Management in Support of Global Strike Operations
Abstract
Fuselets are the result of AFRL/IF Joint Battlespace Infosphere (JBI) research based on the 1998 Air Force Science Advisory Board (SAB) report, "Information Management to Support the Warrior." A fuselet is a configurable, reusable transformation component, designed to enable shared business processes across organizational and community of interest boundaries. Fuselets enable innovative workflows to meet the information transformation needs that aren't addressed by individual C2 applications. The fuselet concept thrives in environments where information objects with formatted metadata are published and can be subscribed to. Examples of such environments include the JBI, RSS feeds on the World Wide Web, and web services in a Service Oriented Architecture. In this effort we achieved our goal of developing an application demonstration of fuselet technology as applied to Global Strike operations. Following several knowledge acquisition sessions with personnel affiliated with USSTRATCOM and the USAF Air Combat Command, we developed a number of operationally relevant fuselet workflows. These SMEs provided useful feedback and assessment of the applicability of the fuselet concept. Many of the SMEs agreed that the fuselet concept has the potential to improve command and control processes in the Global Strike or Air Operations Center domains.
