Innovative Science and Technology (IST) in Support of SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) BM/C3 (Battle Management/Command, Control and Communications)

摘要

Battle Management and Command, Control and Communications (BM/C3) issues in the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI) context were discussed at a two-day workshop at the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). Another workshop probed civilian systems which require handling of large amounts of data and which have fault-tolerant features that may be useful in resolving the SDI BM/C3 problems. The findings are summarized in this report, with special emphasis on possible research to be supported by the Innovative Science and Technology Office of SDIO.
