Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Worldwide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) has served as the principal vehicle for communication between the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and the Operational Commands of the U.S. Armed Forces since the 1970's. In its original form WWMCCS was a large network of mainframe computers that facilitated centralized control of the widely dispersed U.S. force structure. The System was managed as a joint asset by the Defense Communication Agency (DCA) and functioned as on online open channel for the large volume of routine communications (i.e. unit readiness reports, logistics and support inventories, local conditions) that are the foundation of day-to-day and contingency planning.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the best single way to summarize it is to view the book as a bureaucratic or organizational history. What the author does is to take three distinct historical themes-organization, technology, and ideology and examine how each contributed to the development of WWMCCS and its ability (and frequent inability) to satisfy the demands of national leadership. Whereas earlier works were primarily descriptive, cataloguing the command and control assets then in place or under development, The book offers more analysis by focusing on the issue of how and why WWMCCS developed the way it did. While at first glance less provocative, this approach is potentially more useful for defense decision makers dealing with complex human and technological systems in the post-cold-war era. It also makes for a better story and, I trust, a more interesting read. By necessity, this work is selective. The elements of WWMCCS are so numerous, and the parameters of the system potentially so expansive, that a full treatment is impossible within the compass of a single volume. Indeed, a full treatment of even a single WWMCCS asset or subsystem-the Defense Satellite Communications System, Extremely Low Frequency Communications, the National Military Command System, to name but a few-could itself constitute a substantial work. In its broadest conceptualization, WWMCCS is the world, and my approach has been to deal with the head of the octopus rather than its myriad tentacles.

This book was released on 1981 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO's evaluation of the World Wide Military Command and Control Information System modernization effort showed that continuing problems associated with providing automated support for command and control functions are not being properly addressed by DOD. DOD's efforts are not yet completed; however, the methods employed and progress to date are unlikely to enable the replacement of the World Wide Military Command and Control Information System to meet its intended goals. Further, these efforts are proceeding far too slowly to be considered responsive to the need to improve current system performance. DOD anticipates 10 more years will be necessary to modernize the system. GAO's evaluation of the modernization program shows that substantial changes are needed in the program's management structure before the system can be fully and effectively modified. (Author).

Download or read book A Survey of Technical Standards for Command and Control Information Systems written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper identifies the technical standards required to support future implementation of the Worldwide Military Command and Control System Automated Data Processing Modernization (WAM) target architecture. It is part of a larger task from the Defense Information Systems Agency, formerly the Defense Communications Agency, to describe the WAM target architecture at a level of technical detail necessary for implementation planning. It surveys existing and planned international, U.S. voluntary, and U.S. Federal Government standards appropriate to the seven generic command and control information system (CCIS) services: data exchange, data management, network, operating systems, programming, security and Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) systems management, and user interface. The paper provides a framework of standards to promote interoperability, assure flexibility, and growth potential, and allow for technology insertion through the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.
