To meet the demands of the tactical commander to rapidly increase the flow of information on the battlefield, automated command and control systems are being developed; thereby creating the possibility of catastrophic software failures which can...
This monograph examines the ability of the currently available logistics planning software, OPLOGPLAN ‘98 and the LEW ‘98, to assist the logistics planner in the creation of division level plans. To define the utility of the logistics planning...
Joint interoperability is the key to enhancing the Army's warfighting capabilities in the years to come. The ability to provide fully interoperable information system support to an Army-led Joint Task Force (JTF) deployed halfway around the world...
Just as many football players have failed to become great coaches, so too have many governmental leaders, leaders of industry and military officers failed to succeed when placed at higher levels of responsibility. Understanding how to solve...
Overall, OPLOGPLAN '98 and the LEW '98, do not assist the logistics planner in the creation of division level plans. OPLOG and the LEW are models that calculate sustainment factors, not decision models. Both software programs are management...
The U.S. Army spends millions of dollars to develop and implement simulations for training. Simulations allow the Army to train commanders and staffs in a wide range of tasks. Simulations have evolved into complex software and hardware programs...
The specific purpose of this thesis is to evaluate Army Telecommunications Automation Concepts and determine the feasibility of the Army's establishing a centralized facility or organization for control and management of communications computer...
This thesis examines the multilevel security problem of simultaneous processing of compartmented and collateral data at the Intelligence Data Handling Site, Forces Command Intelligence Group, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Existing security controls...
Commanders always require a large amount of data in order to maintain situational awareness, a very complicated endeavor especially during deployments in Iraq or Afghanistan with subordinate units spread across the country. The Battle Command...
This research thesis is a study through a military commercial industry partnership to seek whether investments in military modeling and simulation can be easily transferred to benefit commercial industry. This document provides a methodology for...
The purpose of this study was to determine if there is any validity to using the current Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) to gauge Soldier readiness for combat. The study was conducted in four stages. The APFT tasks; pushup, sit-up, and run were...
This thesis assumes that the United States will continue to utilize unmanned combat robotic systems in the current operational environment (COE). The United States' military's increased use of unmanned robotic systems will not significantly change...
Governs research, development and acquisition and Life Cycle Management (LCM) of Army materiel to satisfy approved Army requirements, and applies to major systems, non major systems, highly sensitive clarified acquisition programs, automated...
This monograph focuses on the possibility of defeating any and all enemies with an information-intensive force. Clearly, no one currently possesses this capability. However, in the intermediate and long-term, such a force may be within the reach of...
This study investigates the automation problems that were encountered in support of personnel accounting and strength reporting during Operation DESERT STORM. This is of particular interest because of recent efforts to offset force structure...
The federal government response to Hurricane Katrina demonstrated a vital need for the military to improve the process for assessment, response, and decision-making for all organizations involved. Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is an emerging...
This thesis investigates the utility of transforming the Institutional Army through the use of corporate business models. Through a survey of the literature of published corporate business plans and models, military reports, Army depot case...
External borders of countries and their internal boundaries regulate how people are governed and taxed, their rights and legal authority, and the freedoms they share within their daily lives. People often form relationships based on where they live...
The proliferation of information technology within Department of Defense (DoD) has markedly improved the speed and reach of command and control capabilities. The ease of entry and global availability of network access makes automation linked...
This thesis seeks to answer the question: Does the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS), as specified by the U.S. Army Tactical C31 System of Systems, provide effective automation to the U.S. Army heavy Battalion (Mechanized/Armor)....
