Architecture for Flexible Command and Control Information Systems (INFIS)

Abstract

Extension of common Command and Control Information Systems (CCIS) data is required for complete analysis of a situation. The data for the description of e.g. 'Situation of Own Troops' must be completed by links to corresponding e-mails, faxes, videos, graphics etc. These links must be variable and managed automatically. From the user's point of view, a homogeneous application system provides a complete and consistent information about all relevant facts. The information exchange between military units must be manageable and should run automatically for horizontal and vertical information flows. Depending on the purpose the used front-end devices must be scalable from laptops to e.g. mobile telephones. The IT-administration ought to be unnecessary. Mobile devices must be robust, simple to use, easily exchangeable and rapidly employable.
