Book excerpt: Joint tactical C4ISR architecture -- or the integration of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence surveillance, and reconnaissance assets -- has long been a focus of defense visionaries. They picture systems linking assets, enabling the Armed Forces to detect and strike targets with blinding speed. Such architecture has broader implications. It can enable Joint Vision 2010 and ultimately a revolution in military affairs. An advanced concept technology demonstration (ACTD) by U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) represents progress in realizing such visionary concepts. The Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology testified before Congress that, "We must achieve an interoperable and integrated, secure, and smart C4ISR infrastructure that encompasses both strategic and tactical needs. Enhanced situation awareness and information assurance are. . .the backbone of the revolution in military affairs." That potential was realized in part during the Persian Gulf War. U.S. forces could see targets faster with airborne warning and control and joint surveillance target attack systems. And they could hit them with greater precision. But operations are often far from perfect. The old problem remained: getting the right information to the right place at the right time. A fully integrated C4ISR architecture is the solution. It can bind the services together with defense, intelligence, and other governmental agencies. It will synchronize the unique strengths of organizations and enable the more seamless integration of service capabilities sought by JV 2010. This system of systems can link all sensors -- strategic, theater, and tactical -- within an enhanced command and control framework. Information will be fused with other friendly information and distributed as a common operational picture to users. Just as the computer and Internet have empowered individuals, shared information from an integrated C4ISR architecture may do the same for small units.7.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems Interoperability is the number one problem in the Defense Department today in joint force operations. Deployed operational forces are joint a meld of multiple Services and coalition partners, each independently efficient and smoothly operating. The resulting mix of unique systems, operating procedures, protocols and standards, tactics, and languages produces an interoperability quagmire and complicates the full realization of information superiority. Further, new systems and system upgrades are increasingly complex in sophistication of information technology and communications interfaces, and the problems compound. Because of practical limitations on assembling joint forces short of actual operational deployment, modeling and simulation (M & S) is a key to understanding and resolving interoperability problems. M & S plays a critical role in system and force evaluation; the Joint Distributed Engineering Plant (JDEP) will provide a test bed for systems to be exercised in a representative joint operational environment. A collaborative engineering environment underpins JDEP, utilizing concepts of Simulation Based Acquisition (SBA). Individual systems must be "born joint." In addition to optimizing a systems design, in terms of independent performance, the design must include the capability to interoperate with a myriad of other systems. This is in the context of a systems architecture drawn from a joint operational architecture which portrays the users (theater warfighting Commander-in-Chief) requirements to prosecute operations. M & S used in system development must provide reuse and interoperability of models and data across service and program lines. This is essential to building system-of-systems interoperability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army continues to struggle with creating doctrinally correct, robust, consistent, and all-inclusive operational, system, and technical views based on the Department of Defense Architecture Framework. Having detailed, integrated, and up-to-date architecture views is essential to answering questions involving alternative system designs and operating procedures, conducting gap, overlap, and connectivity analyses among programs of record, and providing traceable data upon which to base near- and far-term acquisition decisions as the armed services undergo Transformation. This paper presents an overview of the Communications- Electronics Research, Development, and Engineering Center Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) methodology for developing and utilizing integrated architecture products for the purposes of C4ISR System-of-Systems engineering analyses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to achieve the dominant battlespace awareness called for in Joint Vision 2010, today's fragmented Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) development processes must become more focused, efficient, and effective. The objective must be a joint C4ISR capability that is integrated, interoperable, efficient, and meets today's demanding mission needs. Many aspects of today's environment place a premium on achieving the objective C4ISR capability outlined above. coupled with the information explosion enabled by the rapid emergence of information technology (e.g., the Internet), require that DoD put in place a means to acquire and implement C4ISR capabilities that are "born joint," interoperate across all boundaries at the levels of sophistication necessary to meet the mission need, provide an integrated, interactive "picture" of the battlespace, and can rapidly accommodate integration of emerging technologies and capabilities (e.g., computer processing, precise global positioning, telecommunications). Furthermore, recent government legislation (e.g., the Information Technology Management Reform Act ITMRA, also known as the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, and the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 GPRA) is placing more emphasis on the need to pursue interoperable, integrated, and cost-effective business practices and capabilities within each organization and across DoD, particularly with respect to information technology. Together, the ITMRA and UPRA serve to codify the efficiency, interoperability, and leveraging goals being pursued by the Unified Commands, Services, and Agencies of DoD.

Download or read book The Modern Defense Industry written by Richard A. Bitzinger and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether it's guns and ammunition or multidimensional anti-terrorism systems, the defense industry is dynamic, complex, and ubiquitous. It is also mysterious, powerful, and controversial, involving thousands of players worldwide—from suppliers and producers to government and military procurers to shadowy figures that trade in the black market. This comprehensive, two-volume reference will explore, on a global scale, the various issues, concepts, problems, and controversies surrounding the rise of the modern defense industry. Unparalleled in its scope and insight, The Modern Defense Industry will prove invaluable to the industry's critics and champions alike. The phenomenon of a more-or-less permanent defense industry—especially one so wide in scale, breadth (air, sea, land, and space), technology, and geography—is still relatively new. Until now, its implications for politics, economics, and technology have not been adequately discussed in an authoritative, accessible format for scholars and researchers, business people, journalists, policymakers, and interested laymen. The Modern Defense Industry addresses the period from 1945 to the present, covering the United States, Europe, Russia, China, Israel, and other important arms-producing and arms-procuring countries. Including essays by experts from around the world, a glossary, data on firms and governments, laws and policies, primary documents, case studies, and a host of other elements, this set will be a unique resource for anyone interested in the arms industry. It will also offer penetrating insights into topics like international relations and diplomacy, arms proliferation, and contemporary politics. Volume I comprises chapters by experts in the field on topics like the relationship between the industry, military, and government; how new modes of warfare are changing the industry; the implications of globalization on the industry; the black and gray areas of the arms trade; and much more. Volume II features an extensive A-Z glossary of terms, lists of defense firms and government agencies, annotated primary documents, lists of leading defense contractors and key weapons systems, an analysis of key legislation, and professional organizations. The Modern Defense Industry sets the standard for state of the art overviews of an industry that has, for better or worse, come to infuse nearly every aspect of world affairs in the early twenty-first century.
Download or read book The European Union in the Security of Europe written by Steve Marsh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the European Union’s contribution to providing security in Europe amidst an increasingly complex and challenging environment. In this new and comprehensive guide to the EU's role in security since the end of the Cold War, the authors offer an explanation of EU internal and external security regimes, and argue that the Union has become an important exporter of security within its region. However, the Union’s rhetorical ambitions and commitments continue to outstrip its capabilities and it lacks both a common conceptualisation of security and a meaningful, shared strategic culture. Drawing extensively on primary sources the book examines the Union’s relations with the US and Russia in a time of shifting geostrategic calculations and priorities. With the EU capacity for enlargement slowing, this text presents a detailed assessment of EU security policies towards Central Europe, the Mediterranean, the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe and South Caucasus. European Union Security will be of interest to students and scholars of the EU, security studies, and international relations.
Download or read book Economic Integration Democratization and National Security in East Asia written by Peter C. Y. Chow and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers such significantly in-depth evidence of the tremendous complexities involved in PRC-ROC relations that scholars and policymakers alike will greatly appreciate its broader applicability to current comparative research on contemporary East Asia. Lisa Fischler, East Asia Integration Studies Professor Chow has put together an excellent collection of papers analyzing some of the most important political and economic issues in East Asia. The focus is on Taiwan, but several chapters deal separately with the United States, China, North Korea, Japan, and the EU. This is a very useful publication for those interested in contemporary East Asia. Thomas J. Bellows, The University of Texas at San Antonio, US and Editor, American Journal of Chinese Studies The US policy of supporting a democratic Taiwan while simultaneously engaging China is a delicate and complex balance, with outcomes critical to economic, security and strategic interests in Asia. At the same time, rising Taiwanese identity amid the emerging power of China continues to change the paradigm. The contributors to this volume explore the political and economic dimensions of this complicated and pressing issue. Whether the US China relationship evolves as one of strategic partners or strategic competitors will significantly affect power relations between Washington, Beijing and Taipei. More generally, it will set the tone for peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia Pacific. Peter Chow examines the potential crisis, as well as mitigating influences, by investigating political, economic and security considerations affecting cross-Taiwan Strait relations. He presents broad coverage of recent changes of policy in Taiwan, China and the US, with special emphasis on the adjustments of American policy on Taiwanese identity amid its democratization. An overall evaluation of current US policies toward China based on realism and idealism illustrates the shifting US China Taiwan relations. This insightful treatment will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, political economy, foreign relations, Asian studies, political science and economics. Civic leaders and representatives of interest groups involved with US China Taiwan relations will find the volume of great value in their work.

Download or read book Facing War Rethinking Europe s Security and Defence written by Serena Giusti and published by Ledizioni. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Russia’s attack on Ukraine has sent shockwaves across Europe and the world. While the current war is a geopolitical turning point, it remains unclear whether it will trigger a quantum leap forward for European defence policies and for the role of the European Union as a security provider. This Report investigates whether we can expect a further convergence of European strategic cultures, and on collaboration among Europeans to generate the required military capabilities and integrate their forces. Most importantly, it finds that the timely implementation of the EU’s Strategic Compass will be a decisive test to establish whether Europeans are rising to the challenge of taking more responsibility for their security and defence.
