Brief Assessment of LC2IEDM, MIST and Web Services for use in Naval Tactical Data Management

摘要

A single platform, or ownship, typically has many available sensor resources. These sensors provide data to software applications that form tracks, fuse tracks and display results. Other information may also be fused including remote source data such as that from Link 11 transmissions, or a recognized maritime picture. The management of this multitude of potentially replicate data is an important function of the ownship tactical data system. In this report, three developments are assessed for potential use in the tactical data management process; the Land Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model, the Maritime Information Sharing Technology, and Web Services. This assessment indicates that none are presently capable of supporting tactical data management on ownship.
