|
 | Since the end of WWII, there have been no less than two dozen formal audits, boards, studies and reviews all questioning the efficiency and effectiveness of the three Services maintaining their own Medical Departments. For a variety of reasons the Service Medical Departments have remained arguably unchanged by Goldwater-Nichols DoD Reorganization Act and the 'jointness' it intended. Contrary to some initial expectations, TRICARE has evolved into an effective mechanism for ... |

Bradley B. Smith; NAVAL WAR COLL NEWPORT RI JOINT MILITARY OPERATIONS DEPT
|
| The SECDEF and CJCS have declared that the new war on terrorism, a dissimilar war against a non-state enemy that functions within worldwide terrorist networks, demands closer coordination by U.S. government agencies and the military in the diplomatic, economic, intelligence, law enforcement and military domains. The thesis of this paper is that Joint Interagency Coordination Groups (JIACGs) must be established in geographic combatant commanders' (theater CINCs) headquarters and employed at ... |

| Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the United States Coast Guard, the smallest of America's armed forces, was given massive new homeland protection responsibilities. Unfortunately, the service struggles to fulfill these duties due to aged equipment, insufficient personnel strength, and inadequate funding. This paper analyses the Coast Guard's place in government and proposes moving the service to the Department of Defense (DoD). A close examination of the growing ... |

|
| The Finite Integration Technique (FIT) according to T. Weiland is an efficient and universal method for solving a large scale of problems in computational electrodynamics. Up to now the conventional formulation itself has had an accuracy order of two with respect to the spatial discretization. In this paper an innovative extension to fourth or even higher order is presented. The convergence of the presented scheme is demonstrated by a general ... |

|
| A crucial need for the modern military is the ability to rapidly assemble a set of disparate information systems into a coherently interoperating whole. This must be done without system redesign and may include interoperation with non-DoD governmental systems, with systems separately designed by coalition partners or with COTS and open-source systems that are not built to a pre-existing government standard. The Control of Agent Based Systems (CoABS) program explores ... |

|
| The recovery of isolated military or civilian personnel has been a primary concern for the U.S. combatant commanders. Unfortunately, throughout history, conventional combat search and rescue (CSAR) forces within the Department of Defense have demonstrated a lack of integrated capability in peacetime. As a result, they have undertaken extreme efforts to reorganize, buildup, and employ an ad hoc CSAR force during crisis action planning for combat operations. All military services ... |

|
| As existing weapon systems age and the costs and cycle times on the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of these systems increases, various organizations within the U.S. Department of Defense are conducting independent studies to help the system become more efficient. Current research efforts on maintenance repair and overhaul operations focus on individual elements of this "sustainment" system. However, to more effectively solve the sustainment problem, research should be conducted on ... |

|
| During the Cold War, the United States maintained an extensive industrial base in the event of a global war with the Soviet Union. With the Russian threat diminished, and the downward spiral of allied defense budgets, a new industrial base model may be more effective in managing scarce defense resources. The new model would be spread across the allies, rather than centrally focused in the United States, with several prime-integrating ... |

| The seamless integration of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) components offers many benefits associated with reuse. Even with successful composite applications, unexpected interoperability conflicts can arise when COTS products are upgraded, new components are needed, and the application requirements change. Recent approaches to integration follow pattern-based design principles to construct integration architecture for the composite application. This integration architecture provides a design perspective within the application environment. However, little attention has been paid ... |

|
| Legacy software systems in the Department of Defense (DoD) have been evolving and are becoming increasingly complex and are becoming increasingly complex while providing more functionality. The shortage of original software designs, lack of corporate knowledge and software design documentation, unsupported programming languages, and obsolete real-time operating system and development tools have become critical issues for the acquisition community. Consequently, these systems are now very costly to maintain and upgrade ... |

|
| Object correlation is a semantic comparison of exported entities from one system to imported entities of another. Current research in search algorithms and artificial intelligence methods for pattern matching can aid integrators in finding these matches. This thesis proposes a two-stage correlation process for resolving various kinds of heterogeneity found in legacy DoD systems to facilitate interoperability. A prototype built using these methods is explained, results compared to current correlation ... |

| This paper highlights several important areas in achieving extensive integration of military command and control systems. The discussion in the paper focuses on two areas where technology per se is deficient, and that must be considered carefully against the stronger tides of technology push in systems design and acquisition. These areas are the human factors aspects of system design, and the challenge of information management. |

| Component interoperability has become an important concern as industry and government migrate legacy systems, integrate COTS products, and assemble modules from disparate sources into a single application. Interoperability problems, their complexity and their resolution, can mean the difference between the successful, seamless integration of software and the complete failure of a composite system. Emerging research has shown that interoperability problems can be traced to differences in the software architectures of ... |

| In March 1999, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic became members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), marking a milestone in their reintegration into the European mainstream. This enlargement of the alliance occurred with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate in April 1998, following an extensive debate on the three Central European countries' qualifications for membership. Proponents of enlarging NATO argued that the three countries would enhance ... |

| Today's war fighter is inundated with data from numerous Command, Control, Communications and Computers and Intelligence systems. Integration of these systems is desirable, yet integration results in a static solution to a dynamic problem-by the time a global schema can be devised, it is out of date. Automating schema integration will mitigate this problem, but data model disparity must be addressed via translation to a ... |

| How should future commanders integrate space-based fires into their combat operations? Space-based fires represent a significant departure from traditional force structure. They present such an interesting challenge because of their global nature and their out-of-theater planning and execution processes. As a result, fires from space will require significant integration from the operational to tactical level. Unfortunately, current doctrine on commanding, planning and executing is insufficient to accommodate space-based fires. This ... |

| This paper examines the evolution of space support and how space support has contributed to the operationalization and integration of space systems into warfighting roles, specifically at the tactical level of operations. The paper also demonstrates that the cultural mindset of the Air Force is shaped by our association with weapon systems (self serving elitism) and not with the mission. These cultural mindsets or barriers influence the Air Force's capability ... |

| This report reviews research in which multiple sources of variable reliability information are integrated for the purpose of making diagnostic judgments or allocating resources. A framework for considering these experiments is presented, and some evidence is presented regarding the extent to which humans are calibrated, in allocating processing proportionately to the ideal weights (i.e., reliability or importance) of information channels. Two generic sources of bias are identified. Attentional biases occur ... |
