Advanced Systems Elevate Level Of Cooperation Between Troops

摘要

The battlefield is emerging as a conglomeration of information systems that talk to each other, create a total picture and deliver pieces of a complex puzzle into a comprehensive knowledge base for mission commanders. Operations can vary from conflict to peacekeeping to humanitarian aid, but the requirements are the same—acquire as much information about the situation as possible so the best decisions can be made. Recognizing that several U.S. Army organizations are developing systems that gather diverse types of information, the service brought together three organizations that are working on different projects to provide a seamless communications flow from the battlefield to the Pentagon as well as among all of the armed forces.
