Download or read book The World Wide Military Command and Control System evolution and effectiveness written by David Eric Pearson and published by DIANE Publishing. 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 1984 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improving the survivability of the Nation's military command, control, and communications systems, under the spectrum of threats foreseen for the future, is one of the most important goals of the WWMCCS Information System (WIS) Joint Program Management Office. Critical to the survivability of the modernized WIS will be the connectivity it will provide its operational users. The closer user connectivity approaches full connectivity the greater will be the probability of survival under stress--stress being caused by destruction of nodes, electronic warfare and/or increased traffic. The proliferation of packet-switched networks has great potential for offering the WIS a high degree of user connectivity because of the ability of packet-switching to asynchronously time-share communication links and to Alternate-route traffic around failed links or nodes and to bypass congested nodes. The objective of this report is to provide guidance to the developers of the WIS architecture in achieving an acceptable level of survivable user connectivity utilizing, as much as possible, existing packet-switched networks. Particular emphasis is given to security, an important aspect of any DoD command and control system.

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 1978 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Federal Computer Performance Evaluation and Simulation Center (FEDSIM) has developed a document for WWMCCS installations that can be used by site personnel to analyze the performance characteristics of their Honeywell 6000 (H-6000) computer systems. This document, called an H-6000 Tuning Guide, incorporates detailed analysis procedures that guide the analyst in applying specific techniques to improve system performance. The third volume serves the same general purpose and has the same general structure as Volume II. Volume III presents a complete set of procedures for investigating the response time of GCOS Time Sharing System (TSS) interactions. The volume first presents a model of the processes and queue points associated with TSS response time and then describes eight tests to direct an analysis of TSS response time.
