Evolutionary Technology in the Current Revolution in Military Affairs: The Army Tactical Command and Control System.

The author analyzes developments in the Army Tactical Command and Control System as a vehicle for assessing the U.S. Armys strategy for exploiting information age technologies and Force XXI. The author believes the Army has not altered its core tasks nor displaced any of its combat platforms. Changes largely have been marginal, revolving around the leveraging of technologies into existing systems. She points out that technological change, evolutionary and revolutionary, requires the vision of leadership, corporate acceptance, and managerial genius to guide it to effective implementation.
