International Cursor on Target (CoT) User Group Meeting (1st), 2-3 April 2013

Abstract

Cursor on Target is centered around a set of xml schema which enable enhanced Situational Awareness via a simple, standardized data set. These schema are supported by a suite of powerful applications which support data translation, software development, and system integration. Key translators include Link-16, VMF, Google Earth and FalconView. CoT is operationally deployed 24x7 worldwide in over 200 systems. MITRE works in the role of System Engineer for the Cursor on Target Program Office (run from AFLCMC/HNI at Hanscom AFB). We not only provide Configuration Management / Change Control for the schema and key applications, we also provide "best practices" for development of CoT-enabled systems, deployment of CoT data architectures, and concepts for integration of CoT into Enterprise networks. With over 1,500 users in the CoT User Group, MITRE (as directed by our government customers) endeavors to provide training and venues for exchanging information, future requirements, and operational concerns. The key event for each year is our CoT Annual User Group Meeting, which has heretofore been hosted in the Boston area.
