Battlefield Object Control via Internet Architecture

摘要

The motivation of this study is to reach the goal of information and competition superiority for the future battlefield. The authors have developed an adaptive C4ISR system for military applications, called the Real-time Object Control System (ROCS), by integrating the following information transformation technologies: Global Positioning System (GPS), Geographic Information System (GIS), Battlefield Information Transmission System (BITS), and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The basic architecture of the ROCS consists of three parts: the front-end position system, the GPRS (General Packet Radio Server) (2.5) and 3G telecommunications system, and the rear-end control center. Users can command and control battlefield objects via this transformation architecture. They also describe an application of the ROCS to the vehicle object control system that has been designed for an Internet Protocol-based operational environment.
