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.

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 2015-03-17 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Air Force and the Worldwide Military Command and Control System, 1961-1965, is a companion volume to Arthur K. Marmor's USAF Command and Control Problems, 1958-1961. It seeks to trace major developments in the continuing effort to provide the nation's leaders with command and control facilities for assessing and responding to crises which require, or might require, commitment of America's military forces. Since decisions on most of these developments are made by the President or the Office of the Secretary of Defense it is frequently difficult to pinpoint the Air Force role in them. They remain very much a part of Air Force history, however. The Air Force contributes many of its most highly skilled officers to the joint agencies that build, operate, and support elements of the worldwide military command and control system. Air Staff officers serve on the joint planning groups that conceive the facilities. And nearly every Air Staff section furnishes support to these planning groups.

Download or read book Protocols and Security in the WWMCCS Worldwide Military Command and Control System Information System WIS written by T. C. Bartee and published by . 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.

Download or read book Management of the Global Command and Control System written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Command and Control System (GCCS) software version 2.0 was planned for installation in March 1995 without adequate testing to verify that it was operational. The GCCS is an integral part of the implementation of the Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C41) for the Warrior. The GCCS is the planned DoD-wide system for the command and control function for the unified commands and the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, and will replace the World Wide Military Command and Control System. The announced audit objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the C41 for the Warrior concept in achieving joint interoperability. Specifically, we evaluated the GCCS program because it implements the command and control segment of the C41 for the Warrior concept. We also evaluated the effectiveness of management controls for the GCCS program.
