Networking: challenges for network-centric operations
Larry B. Stotts, John G. Allen · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2004
This paper examines some of the challenges facing the community in providing radio communications to enable information systems for military operations. We believe that much of the on-going/completed work is necessary, but not sufficient, to provide the military Network Centric Operations, which integrates military’s network centric enterprise with network centric warfare. Additional issues need to be addressed to better support battle commanders as well as decider-sensor-effecter linkages. We discuss a possible way ahead.
