The DISAM Journal of International Security Assistance Management. Volume 23, Number 3, Summer 2001
Abstract
In this issue we feature the Air Force's Electronic Systems Center, the Center of Excellence for providing command, control, and information systems to support not only our own forces but also those of our allies. Since the Gulf War, it has been obvious that coalition warfare is in the forefront of military planning, and the interoperability of command and control systems is vital to successful military engagement. At ESC, the international and foreign military sales business is a key component of their product base and is essential to their ability to deliver interoperable, war-fighting products. Among the various articles describing ESC's activities are those on a joint-service Enterprise Team to optimize investments and avoid redundancy, how knowledge of Status of Forces Agreements can be incorporated into contracts for technical services, a successful foreign comparative testing program, and a multinational NATO program to develop the capability to detect and track vehicles near the ground with radar sensors. In addition, the Regional Aerospace Initiative is designed to enhance civil/military airspace management and establish an air sovereignty system throughout Central and Eastern Europe.
