Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The information age, and an accompanying revolution in military affairs, has the potential to provide U.S. forces with dominant battlespace knowledge resulting from information superiority. While the benefits to the commander would be significant, the development of relative superiority in situational awareness will not go unnoticed by the enemy. While it may provide advantageous deterrent and coercive capabilities, dominant battlespace knowledge will not necessarily prevent hostilities. Commanders should expect the enemy to pursue asymmetric strategies including insurgencies, terrorism, and the use of weapons of mass destruction to overcome the technological advantage of the United States. At the same time the enemy may introduce technology into his own forces to improve his situation awareness and precision engagement capabilities. The end result of technological advances of both sides may be increased weapons lethality, and increased involvement in prolonged conflicts and military operations other than war. Dominant battlespace knowledge will also create challenges to conventional military leadership. The goal of dominant battlespace knowledge is to lift the fog of war. While the commander's understanding of the battle situation may improve, the existence of dominant battlespace knowledge will create new and complex challenges.

Download or read book Redefining E 3 Core Competencies for Dominant Battlespace Knowledge in Future Combat Employment written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores how E-3 Air Battle Managers train for and perform their duties on board the Airborne Warning and Control System. The study focuses on how E-3 training is driven by the maintenance of a set of battle management core competencies rooted in the basics of aircraft tactical fluid control, force accountability and aerial refueling. The advent of a revolution in Information Management technology in the form of the 40/45 weapons system upgrade for the E-3 will drive the Air Force to rethink how training is accomplished with new capabilities and emerging missions in the battlespace. The current approach to block will not allow the Air Force to exploit the capabilities of the 40/45 airframe. Lessons from emerging areas such as knowledge management and sensemaking need to be assimilated into the way the Air Force trains E-3 Air Battle Managers to ensure future combat capability of aircrews in the increasingly technical and complex battlespace of future military operations. Existing core competencies need to be considered individual skill sets, and knowledge management and sensemaking introduced to better prepare battle managers to effectively and efficiently interpret inputs in the battlespace and place information where it needs to be.

Download or read book Achieving Strategic Battlespace Awareness written by William G. Fillman and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To meet the U.S. National Military Strategy and Joint Vision 2010 requirements for battlespace awareness and battlespace knowledge, we should establish a Joint Project Office for Battlespace Awareness/Knowledge. This Office should assume responsibility for breaking the paradigm of stovepiped system development and data management within the Services and the DoD Combat Support Agencies. Commercial mission partners will ultimately provide the required technology. By 2010, DoD will need a central data warehouse to provide the warfighter with an awareness product. A Defense Technical Services Agency, carved out of current intelligence combat support agencies, is a viable solution. Today, DoD should focus on establishing the requirements and doctrine, training leaders and user personnel, and developing the organizational structure to facilitate the achievement of dominant battlefield awareness by 2010.

Download or read book Battlespace Technologies written by Richard S. Deakin and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2010 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The era of mechanized warfare is rapidly giving way to the battle for information superiority OCo enabled by electronic technologies that provide data for detailed analysis of enemy forces and capabilities. Supported with over 400 four-color photographs and illustrations, this new book is written and designed specifically to help non-specialists quickly understand the complexities of Network Enabled Capability (NEC). It offers you expert guidance on how to achieve information dominance throughout the battlespace by effectively employing the technologies, concepts, and decision-making processes of network enabled warfare.Written in clear, nontechnical language with minimum mathematics, the book explains how to use sensor technologies, including radar and electronic warfare systems, to disseminate information to key decision makers in timely and relevant manner. You learn how these technologies allow for the effective acquisition and dissemination of intelligence, while denying the collection, dissemination and use of intelligence by enemy forces.Providing a complete understanding of the advantages and weaknesses of information warfare, this practical book shows you what factors need to be taken into account when designing systems and equipment for use in a network-enabled environment. Moreover, this forward-looking reference explores what evolving requirements to consider for future air, land, and sea battlespace scenarios. This is an extraordinarily valuable and useful resource for military staff, defense industry engineers and managers, and government officials involved with defense funding decisions."

Download or read book Winning in Time Enabling Naturalistic Decision Making in Command and Control written by William C. Louisell and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Key US proponents of the Revolution in Military Affairs described future war as a system of systems in which dominant battlespace knowledge would enable a system of sensors and shooters to be connected for the purpose of engagement through an advanced, information technology-based command and control function (Fig 1). Through dominant battlespace knowledge, the command and control function would achieve efficiency levels which would greatly alter the nature of conflict- current time constants in the decision, action, feedback loop would be drastically shortened. The nature of weapons and platforms would change and the organization and training of forces would change.

Download or read book Information Operations written by Edward F. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A robust information operations architecture can provide leaders dominant battlespace knowledge and tools for improved decision making. US armed forces in 2025 need an information operations system that generates products and services that are timely, reliable, relevant, and tailored to each user's needs. The products must come from systems that are secure, redundant, survivable, transportable, adaptable, deception resistant, capable of fusing vast amount of data, and capable of forecasting. The information operations architecture of 2025 this paper proposes consists of thousands of widely distributed nodes performing the full range of collection, data fusion, analysis, and command functions-all linked together through a robust networking system. Data will be collected, organized into usable information, analyzed and assimilated, and displayed in a form that enhances the military decision maker's understanding of the situation. The architecture will also apply modeling, simulation, and forecasting tools to help commanders make sound choices for employing military force. This architecture allows the United States (US) armed forces to conduct Wisdom Warfare. The system can be used by the commander in chief, unit commander, supervisor, or technician. Somewhere in the workplace, in a vehicle, or on the person there will be a link to the sensors, transmitters, receivers, storage devices, and transformation systems that will provide, in push or pull fashion, all the synthesized information needed to accomplish the mission or task. Information will be presented in a variety of forms selected by the user.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today it is clear that information, not ordnance or weapons systems is the current coin of the realm in serious discussions of future warfare. Each of the military departments are now wrestling with how to procure, employ and organize units to take advantage of the anticipated flood of information and the "dominant battlespace awareness" which it confers. Joint Vision 2010 posits that near perfect battlefield knowledge makes smaller units increasingly more capable. Does this mean those unit leaders will now become operational level commanders? What are anticipated changes and processes to develop leaders who can operate and execute the art of command using the advantages of information age technologies? Will the art of command dramatically change? What changes should be made to the training system to adapt leaders to these changes? This monograph considers information superiority and its impact on the training of future military leaders.

Book excerpt: The things which give military forces their fighting capability are changing, and these changes point toward a qualitative jump in our ability to use military force effectively. Probably relating to the way we plan, program and budget for these things, we are more adept at seeing the individual trees than that vast forest of military capability (the system-of-systems) which the individual systems are building for our fighting forces. The system-of-systems depends ultimately on well orchestrated contributions of all the military services. This assumes a common appreciation of and adherence to what we are building. Most importantly, it requires joint strategic and operational doctrine by which to organize, plan and carry out military operations.
