Testing and Training in a Command, Communications, Control, and Intelligence (C31) Framework

摘要

In a theater of operations, the C3I system is the nervous system of the force. It is the collection of pipes, wires, and channels through which information about enemy activity, status of forces, directions, and orders flow. At the component level, C3I systems are Service specific, and tailored to meet Service needs. At the theater level, C3I systems are tailored to meet theater specific needs, and the architecture varies from unified command to unified command. The theater level C3I system must integrate the component level systems into a seamless apparatus which will support theater-wide operations.
