NETWEORK SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGY ALLIANC
Abstract
This project supports a competitively selected United States (US)/United Kingdom (UK) government, university, and industry consortium established to perform fundamental network and information science research in the areas of network theory, system-of-systems security, sensor processing and delivery, and distributed coalition planning and decision making. The focus is on enhancing distributed, secure, and flexible decision-making to improve coalition operations, and developing the scientific foundations for complex and dynamic networked systems-of-systems to support the complex human, social, and technical interactions anticipated in future coalition operations. The US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and the UK Ministry of Defense (MOD) established a jointly funded and managed US and UK consortium, to be known as an International Technology Alliance (ITA) on Network and Information Sciences in FY06. The goal is fundamental science breakthroughs to enable superior coalition operations. Emphasis is on integration of multiple technical disciplines in an international arena. This program supports the future force transition path of the Transformation Campaign Plan (TCP). The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed extramurally by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) at Adelphi, MD.
