Advances in Mechanisms Supporting Data Collection on Future Force Networks: Product Manager C4ISR On-the-Move

摘要

Product Manager C4ISR On-The-Move (PM C4ISR OTM) has a mandate to conduct integrated lab- and field-based activities for the purpose of demonstrating, evaluating and assessing emerging C4ISR technologies. The conduct of such activities has led to the development of a suite of tools and techniques for the collection of data across large, multi-component, multi- enclave system-of-systems. Within this paper, we discuss the motivation, design and implementation of a practical suite of tools employed during field exercises conducted by PM C4ISR OTM in support of the Research and Development (R&D), Acquisition, and Test communities.
