Future Concepts For Network-Centric Command And Control Operations
Mon, 10 Oct 2005, 09:18
Alburqueque NM: Researchers are investigating future concepts for network-centric command and control operations using intelligent, autonomous data link management to pass real-time information over ad hoc networks.
As the Air Force (AF) slowly integrates data links into the operational fleet and manufacturers investigate newer, highcapacity data links, researchers must work to develop advanced methods of data link operation. This article describes an approach that employs autonomous data link management and ad hoc networks to conduct networkcentric warfare against dynamic targets.
The approach will support two future adjunct programs by cooperatively using information gathered by all participating platforms in the battlespace to help dissipate the fog of war.
