JWID'98: An Impression.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA362011 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objective of JWID 98 is to demonstrate technologies which contribute to the interoperability of C2 systems. JWID 98 has shown that the functionality of the World Wide Web and Internet technology allows to combine commercial systems and military systems into a C41 network which provides access to the digital battlefield information of various NATO partners. The exchange of information between C2 systems is however still cumbersome. Although message standards are used e.g. AdatP-3 or OTH-G there remain differences in implementation of these standards and differences in the datamodels used by these C2 systems. Question marks remain about the security aspects and survivability aspects of the demonstrated technologies when applied in a military environment. Also it is questioned whether military communications networks can provide sufficient bandwidth to support C41 networks.
