This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the U.S. Army's principal modernization initiative has been its digitization effort, designed to harness the power of the microchip to significantly improve the fighting capabilities of soldiers on the battlefield. But implementing that initiative presents significant challenges. Digitization requires the rapid transmission of large amounts of information over significant distances. Experiments conducted to date as well as recent operations in Iraq, where troops employed some of the results of the service's digitization efforts, have shown that that requirement is difficult to fulfill not only under battlefield conditions but also in more benign circumstances. Since 1999, the focus of the Army's modernization program has shifted to what it terms transformation-making its forces deployable more quickly while maintaining or improving their lethality and survivability. Although digitization is no longer the Army's primary modernization initiative, it remains a key element of transformation. In the past several years, questions about the size of the information flow associated with digitization and the communications bandwidth to support it-that is, the capacity to move information at sufficient speeds-have spurred the Army to adopt several large radio and network communications programs. Ultimately to cost tens of billions of dollars, those programs are currently planned to provide initial operational capability by about 2010. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study, which was prepared for the Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces of the House Committee on Armed Services, examines the issue of how much bandwidth will be required to achieve the goal of digitization (the bandwidth demand) versus how much bandwidth will be provided by the Army's planned communications programs (the bandwidth supply). CBO finds that significant shortfalls currently exist for the Army in the supply of bandwidth. Moreover, under the service's current plans, demand will continue to exceed supply beyond 2010-after the Army begins fielding its next generation of advanced radios and other communications equipment. The study examines several options that would improve the future match between bandwidth supply and demand. However, in keeping with CBO's mandate to provide impartial analysis, this report makes no recommendations. Paul Rehmus of CBO's National Security Division wrote the study under the general supervision of J. Michael Gilmore. Army Cadet Kevin Linzey provided substantial assistance in the analysis of bandwidth for unmanned aerial vehicles. At CBO, Barbara Edwards, David Moore, and David Newman reviewed early drafts and provided helpful comments. Numerous U.S. Army officers also contributed useful comments on and data for drafts of the report as well as the underlying analysis. The author would like to cite in particular the support of Lt. Col. Charles Gabrielson, Col. Edward Cardon, and former Chief of Staff of the Army Erik Shinseki.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Army migrates to a new force structure that is knowledge-based and network-centric, the issue of bandwidth, which facilitates communications capacity, has become increasingly critical. Increases in the number of network participants create shortages of bandwidth supply. The authors examine the Army's projected demands for communications capacity and describe steps that can be taken to address the likely gap between demand and available supply.

Book excerpt: Recent operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have demonstrated the Army2s increasing reliance on communications, making it important to find ways in which the Army might better use bandwidth. This report discusses how existing data compression and network management techniques could be used in the near to medium term to improve performance. These techniques will not solve the bandwidth bottleneck but will contribute to better performance with minimal impact on existing networks. The authors describe how several modern compression technologies work, along with some of the tradeoffs involved in using them. In addition, network accelerators can improve throughput by changing network structure and operations at the last link to the user. These technologies enable users to manage their individual bandwidth needs and, when combined with new compression technologies, could potentially reduce bandwidth demands by an order of magnitude. The authors recommend that the Army incorporate compression and network acceleration technologies into future systems, identify where Army-specific tailoring could improve on commercial data compression technologies, and develop an experimental plan to determine acceptable compression-related losses in quality and to train users.

Book excerpt: Across the services, there is an increasing demand for communications capacity. For the U.S. Army, this is a result of the Army's transition to a new force structure that will be knowledge-based and network-centric. Since bandwidth facilitates communications capacity, bandwidth has become increasingly critical. To the user, high bandwidth is useful because it supports increased capacity, high-volume data exchange, short delays, and high assurance of connectivity. New technologies, commercial and military, will continue to increase available bandwidth and hence the communications capacity available to users. Based on specified requirements and proposed technologies and architectures for the future force, the capacity of communications systems planned to support the new force structure will continue to fall short of the required demand. With unlimited spectrum and unlimited budget, the Army could resolve its bandwidth issues. But these are unrealistic assumptions. Certainly, demand reduction can help close the gap between the requirements and availability of network capacity. However, it is not clear how much demand reduction is possible while retaining the information dominance that is critical for the future force. Demand reduction will need to be coupled with technology investments (e.g., satellites, UAVs, directional antennas, more radios). A number of technologies and concepts are being developed to enhance spectral efficiency, thus allowing the Army to make the best use of the available spectrum. Gaps between the supply and demand of capacity, both now and in the future, will have to be addressed by constantly reassessing demand for capacity and developing technologies that increase the supply.

This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Critical Infrastructure Protection Survey recently released by Symantec found that 53% of interviewed IT security experts from international companies experienced at least ten cyber attacks in the last five years, and financial institutions were often subject to some of the most sophisticated and large-scale cyber attacks and frauds. The book by Baldoni and Chockler analyzes the structure of software infrastructures found in the financial domain, their vulnerabilities to cyber attacks and the existing protection mechanisms. It then shows the advantages of sharing information among financial players in order to detect and quickly react to cyber attacks. Various aspects associated with information sharing are investigated from the organizational, cultural and legislative perspectives. The presentation is organized in two parts: Part I explores general issues associated with information sharing in the financial sector and is intended to set the stage for the vertical IT middleware solution proposed in Part II. Nonetheless, it is self-contained and details a survey of various types of critical infrastructure along with their vulnerability analysis, which has not yet appeared in a textbook-style publication elsewhere. Part II then presents the CoMiFin middleware for collaborative protection of the financial infrastructure. The material is presented in an accessible style and does not require specific prerequisites. It appeals to both researchers in the areas of security, distributed systems, and event processing working on new protection mechanisms, and practitioners looking for a state-of-the-art middleware technology to enhance the security of their critical infrastructures in e.g. banking, military, and other highly sensitive applications. The latter group will especially appreciate the concrete usage scenarios included.
