Situation awareness for ground combat vehicles is being actively developed by the U.S. Army to enable soldiers and commanders to have a better understanding of their environments and hence allow them to fight smarter. The control of hit avoidance assets (sensors and countermeasures) by the Commander‟s Decision Aid (CDA) can also benefit from situation awareness data, either from offboard report...

Let G x H denote the Kronecker product of graphs G and H. Principal results are as follows: (a) If m is even and n 0 (mod 4), then one component of P,.+l x P,+1, and each component of each of CA x Pn+l, Pm+l x (7, and Cm x C, are edge decomposable into cycles of uniform length rs, where r and s are suitable divisors of m and n, respectively, (b) if m and n are both even, then each component of ...

There is a growing awareness of the importance of organizational information architecture to sound decision-making in both the civilian and military sectors. We make a case for the convergence of civilian executive information systems and military C4I due to terrorist attacks on critical infrastructures. Specifically we survey civilian decision-makers about executive information systems and con...

To increase combat effectiveness by networking the warfighter and to easily modify and expand its existing network architecture, the United States Navy requires shipboard computer systems that are network-centric and service-based and that support open architectures. However, they are limited by the radio frequency bandwidth that is available for shipboard communications. As a result, some netw...

There is a growing need within the Air Force for more and better data storage solutions. Rome Laboratory, the Air Force's Center of Excellence for C3I technology, has sponsored the development of a number of operational prototypes to deal with this growing problem. This paper will briefly summarize the various prototype developments with examples of full mil-spec and best commercial practice. T...

The 1998 Computer Generated Forces (CGF) Conference included a paper [1] which proposed a Technical Reference Model (TRM) for interoperability between U.S. Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Reconnaissance, and Surveillance systems (C4ISR) and Computer Generated Force simulations (Sim). This TRM characterized the “type of information that is necessary to pass between C4IS...
