Unaprjeđenje cjelovitosti vojno-obrambenih komunikacijskih sustava s pomoću mrežnih pristupnih točaka s naglaskom na zemaljskim radiorelejnim vezama
Obvious changes in a very broad field of the information and communication
technologies are the key driver of the accelerated development of every sphere of
human activity, including private life. In the military organization, this technological
progress is present through the “post 2000” concept of the networked implementation
of operations, which is implemented to varying degrees in armies around the world.
New confrontations on the modern front include demands for an ever-increasing
volume of the electronic traffic, complexity of the systems that generate, share and
consume information content, and above all, the fastest possible availability of the
relevant information. The race for information superiority is accompanied, on the
other hand, by an ever more destructive highly sophisticated threats, from classic
degradations and physical destruction, action of the hybrid (intelligence-combat)
platforms of the unmanned systems, to cyber-electromagnetic activities of an offensivedefensive nature.
The new paradigms of the multi-domain warfare and expected scenarios that such
forms of engagement put forward, demand from the modern military organization
further normative arrangements within the functional area related to communication
information systems. At the operational-strategic level, they imply the introduction
of adequate organizational concepts and doctrines, while in the implementation part
they require correction of the established tactics, techniques and procedures.
In such an operational environment, integrative efforts within today’s militarydefence communication systems transformed into unique complete solutions have
brought a special challenge. Key networking of the mission components is provided
by network access points. For this reason, they are the subject of special attention
of the network designers, both conceptually and in terms of implementation. The
effectiveness of their functioning is also an assessment of the maturity of military
thinking, inventiveness and engineering practice – which will bring along defeats or
victories to any combat system in future challenges.Očigledne promjene na vrlo širokom području informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologija
ključni su pokretač ubrzanog razvoja svake sfere ljudskog djelovanja – uključujući i
privatni život. U vojnoj organizaciji ovaj tehnološki napredak prisutan je kroz tzv.
post 2000 koncept umrežene provedbe operacija – koji se u različitim stupnjevima
implementira u vojskama širom svijeta. Nova sučeljavanja na suvremenoj bojišnici
uključuju zahtjeve za sve većim volumenom elektroničkih prometnica, usložnjavanja
sustava koji generiraju, dijele i konzumiraju informacijske sadržaje te prije svega što
bržu dostupnost relevantnih informacija. Utrku za informacijskom superiornošću s
druge strane prate nikad destruktivnije visokosofisticirane prijetnje – od klasičnih
degradacija i fizičkih uništenja, djelovanja hibridnih (obavještajno-borbenih) platformi
besposadnih sustava, do kiberelektromagnetskih aktivnosti napadajno-obrambene
prirode. Nove paradigme višedomenskog ratovanja i očekujući scenariji koje takvi
oblici angažmana donose, od suvremene vojne organizacije traže daljnja normativna
uređenja unutar funkcionalnog područja vezanog uz komunikacijsko-informacijske
sustave. Ona na operativno-strategijskoj razini podrazumijevaju uvođenje adekvatnih
organizacijskih koncepata i doktrina, dok u provedbenom dijelu traže korigiranje
ustaljenih taktika, tehnika i procedura. U takvom operativnom okružju, poseban
izazov donose integrativni napori unutar vojno-obrambenih komunikacijskih sustava
današnjice, pretočeni u jedinstvena cjelovita rješenja. Ključnu umreženost misijskih
sastavnica osiguravaju mrežne pristupne točke. Zbog tog su razloga predmetom od
posebne pozornosti mrežnih dizajnera, i u konceptualnom i u izvedbenom smislu.
Učinkovitost njihova funkcioniranja, ujedno je i ocjena zrelosti vojnog promišljanja,
inventivnosti i inženjerske prakse – koja će u budućim izazovima svakom borbenom
sustavu donositi poraze ili pobjede
Extensible Modeling and Simulation Framework (XMSF) Opportunities for Web-Based Modeling and Simulation
Technical Opportunities Workshop Whitepaper, 14 June 2002Purpose: As the Department of Defense (DoD) is engaged in both warfighting and institutional
transformation for the new millennium, DoD Modeling & Simulation (M&S) also needs to identify
and adopt transformational technologies which provide direct tactical relevance to warfighters.
Because the only software systems that composably scale to worldwide scope utilize the World
Wide Web, it is evident that an extensible Web-based framework shows great promise to scale up
the capabilities of M&S systems to meet the needs of training, analysis, acquisition, and the
operational warfighter. By embracing commercial web technologies as a shared-communications
platform and a ubiquitous-delivery framework, DoD M&S can fully leverage mainstream practices
for enterprise-wide software development

Feasibility analysis of using microcircuit technology in logistics applications/radio frequency (MITLA/RF) to support equipment maintenance management
This thesis presents the background, criteria, and baseline recommendations for a Microcircuit Technology in Logistics Application/Radio Frequency (MITLA/RF) proposal to support developing maintenance management doctrine. Its main thrust is a preliminary feasibility analysis of MITLA/RF to identify key issues with regard to maintenance operations within emerging Operational Maneuver From The Sea (OMFTS) concepts. This thesis surveys current requirements, information systems initiatives, test/evaluation results, implementation issues, and technology tradeoffs. It offers alternatives to reliance on manual record keeping and frameworks for enhancing horizontal/ vertical information flows, explores several near real-time interactive decision making tools, and suggests doctrinal improvements through a fusion of procedural and high-tech approaches. This study is an outline for melding policy change with the state-of-the-art technology required to successfully support emerging Combat Service Support (CSS) operations.http://archive.org/details/feasibilitynalys1094539655Major, United States Marine CorpsCaptain, United States Marine Corps.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Leveraging information technology to enable network centric engineer reconnaissance operations
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2003.Vita.Includes bibliographical references (p. 89-91).The Naval Construction Force has traditionally depended on outside sources to obtain and analyze engineering data in contingency situations. The Navy has embarked on an initiative to develop Seabee Engineer Reconnaissance Teams to perform this function, both as a basis for projects slated for in-house construction and as a product to deliver to other organizations. Exercises and operations have thus far shown that the concept is viable, but Seabee Engineer Reconnaissance Teams have encountered problems with data gathering and reporting, and transmission of data and images. Concurrently, the Department of Defense is pursuing a transformation toward network-centric warfare. Network Centric Warfare represents a powerful set of warfighting concepts and associated military capabilities that allow warfighters to take full advantage of all available information in order to bring all available assets to bear in a rapid and flexible manner. This research explores the state of the practice of military engineer reconnaissance as described by established Army doctrine and as enacted by Navy Seabee Engineer Reconnaissance Teams. Commercial information technology applications are reviewed in the areas of geographic information systems, collaborative design, and wireless communications. Solutions are proposed for their potential to enable network centric engineer reconnaissance operations. Network Centric Warfare concepts provide a framework for analyzing the state of the practice in military engineer reconnaissance versus the state of the art in information technology. Current status is assessed and a methodology is proposed to move the Navy quickly forward on the continuum of the Network Centric Operations Maturity Model that enables shared situational awareness, with a brief discussion on the implications for decentralized decision-making.by Keith W.

Riverine sustainment 2012
Student Integrated ProjectIncludes supplementary materialThis technical report analyzed the Navy's proposed Riverine Force (RF) structure and capabilities for 2012. The Riverine Sustainment 2012 Team (RST) examined the cost and performance of systems of systems which increased RF sustainment in logistically barren environments. RF sustainment was decomposed into its functional areas of supply, repair, and force protection. The functional and physical architectures were developed in parallel and were used to construct an operational architecture for the RF. The RST used mathematical, agent-based and queuing models to analyze various supply, repair and force protection system alternatives. Extraction of modeling data revealed several key insights. Waterborne heavy lift connectors such as the LCU-2000 are vital in the re-supply of the RF when it is operating up river in a non-permissive environment. Airborne heavy lift connectors such as the MV-22 were ineffective and dominated by the waterborne variants in the same environment. Increase in manpower and facilities did appreciable add to the operational availability of the RF. Mean supply response time was the biggest factor effecting operational availability and should be kept below 24 hours to maintain operational availability rates above 80%. Current mortar defenses proposed by the RF are insufficient.N
