Abstract:

The Army has embarked upon a coordinated program to develop and field a collection of automated command control, communications, and intelligence C3I systems to provide the effective battle management that is required if we ar to overcome the numerical superiority of the Soviet Block. The Army Battlefield Interface Concept 1979 1 describes the basic architecture for integrating these systems into a functional and interoperating network. The purpose of this paper is to discuss some of the voids in current information science technology as it relates to the testing of individual systems and the network to insure that each system and the network will properly perform their functions under the stress of combat.
