PURPOSE
DEFINES, IN GENERAL TERMS, A CONCEPT FOR A TACTICAL C31 IN THE POST
1985 TIMEFRAME,
0
PORTRAYS A "ROADMAP" FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT.
'IS AN INITIAL STATEMENT OF USER GOALS FOR SUCH PROGRAMS AS BATTLEFIELD
EXPLOITATION AND TARGET ACQUISITION (BETA),
4, IS THE INITIAL POINT OF DEPARTURE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FINAL C31
ARCHITECTURE,
5, IN THE SHORT TERM IT WILL BE USED AS INPUT TO CURRENT ANALYTICAL EFFORTS
SUCH AS THE ARMY COMMAND AND CONTROL MASTER PLAN (AC2MP) AND THE
BATTLEFIELD AUTOMATION MANAGEMENT PLAID (BAMP),

BACKGROUND
RECENT EXPLOSION IN ADP TECHNOLOGY HAS GREATLY INCREASED ITS TACTICAL
POTENTIAL.
IMPLIED ADVANTAGES ARE:
A. IN THE REDUCTION OF TIME AND EFFORT REQUIRED TO ACCUMULATE, PROCESS,
CORRELATE, TRANSFER, AND DISPLAY LARGE VOLUMES OF DATA,
A POSSIBLE MEANS TO ENHANCE COMMAND CONTROL, COUMMUNICATIONS AND
INTELLIGENCE (C31) PROCESSING.
3. THE ARMY'S EFFORT TO EXPLOIT ADP HAS RESULTED IN NUMBERS DEVELOPMENTAL
PROJECTS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO ENHANCE A PORTION OF A LARGER SYSTEM.
THIS PROLIFERATION INDICATES THE ARMY MUST TAKE AN IMPROVED APPROACH TO
THE PROBLEMS OF C31 PROCESSING.
AN OVERALL ARCHITECTURAL PLAN IS REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE A COORDINATED
DEVELOPMENT APPROACH.

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT
GENERAL: # THE ARMY IS FACED WITH A SITUATION UNIQUE IN ITS HISTORY
MOST SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY BASE EVER DEVELOPED
POTENTIAL ENEMIES HAVE BEGUN TO OUTSTRIP US IN THE APPLICATION
OF AUTOMATION TO BATTLEFIELD TASKS
POTENTIAL GAINS TO BE DERIVED FROM AUTOMATION MUST BE APPLIED
AS PART OF AN OVERALL ARCHITECTURE
THE TACTICAL C31 ARCHITECTURE OF THE ARMY RESTS ON SEVERAL KEY
PRINCIPLES:
CORPS AS A SYSTEM
FOCUS ON KEY INFORMATION
SUPPORT UNDER DIVERSE AND ADVERSE CONDITIONS

? TO PROPERLY SEE, PLAN, ALLOCATE, FIGHT, AND SUSTAIN THE FORCE, TACTICAL
C31 SYSTEMS SHOULD RESPONSIVELY PROVIDE:
Of COMMAND AND CONTROL SUPPORT
?? INTEGRATED COMMUNICATIONS
?? ACCESS TO JOINT, COMBINED AND ADJACENT DATA BASES AND SYSTEMS
?? PROCESSING OF SENSITIVE AND NONSENSITIVE INFORMATION
?? CONTROL OF INFORMATION COLLECTORS
?? FIRE PLANNING AND FIRE DIRECTION

SCOPE
A DYNAMIC PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDE FOR COMBAT/MATERIEL DEVELOPERS,
2, EMBODIES TWO CONCEPTS:
A, EXECUTIVE PROCESSING SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT THE OPERATIONS OF A TACTICAL
FORCE, EXECUTIVE-SYSTEMS PROVIDE COORDINATION/CONTROL OF DATA WITHIN
VARIOUS FUNCTIONAL SYSTEMS,
B, SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT C3I, THESE SYSTEMS ARE A PORTION OF A LARGER
ARCHITECTURE WHICH WILL BE DEVELOPED THROUGH SUCH EFFORTS AS THE ARMY
BATTLEFIELD INTERFACE CONCEPT (ABIC) AC2MP AND FOLLOW-ON C31
DEFINITIONAL EFFORTS,
3, THE CONCEPT ENVISIONS THE CONDUCT OF A FDTE IN THE 1981-1983 TIMEFRAME,
THE FDTE TO BE CONDUCTED UTILIZING EXISTING SYSTEMS, PROTOTYPE MODELS AND
TESTBEDS, THIS FULL UP C3I SYSTEM FDTE WOULD FOLLOW AND EXPLOIT THE BETA
FIELD EVALUATIONS WITH FOLLOW-ON EVALUATION POSSIBLY AT FORT HOOD IN THE
1980 - 1981 TIME FRAME.
