Information Distribution Technology: LIBXMAP - Application Program Interface

摘要

The Military Computer Science Branch (MCSB) of the Advanced Computational andInformation Sciences Directorate (ACISD) of the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has been developing concepts to provide information exchange capabilities to 'fighting level' commanders and soldiers as part of an ongoing, long-term research effort known as the Information Distribution Technology (IDT). The IDT concepts have been successfully demonstrated on numerous occasions, most notably during the 1989 LABCOM Smart Weapons Cooperative Program Demonstration and the 1991 Second Counter-Air Symposium for Army Aviation and Air Defense. The report discusses a new software library created to facilitate the development of integrated application programs for testing, refuting, and demonstrating existing and emerging IDT concepts.
