Research Areas

DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 24 Research Tasks zVisualisation –Campaign Combat Information Management for Future Command. zTechnology Infrastructure –To provide software architecture to allow distribution of heterogeneous data.

DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 25 Visualisation zInvestigate decision making process. zDevelop an HCI to be used on distributed architecture. –provide instant access to remote data sources, –modular and flexible display, –allow campaign trends to be monitored, –customise presentation overlays.

DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 31 Jini - a technology zUser abstraction –data source, –location on network.. zAllows services to register dynamically.. zMinimises system administrator overheads.

DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 32 Research Objectives zInvestigate distributed architecture within JFAC & Strategy Cell. zDetermine merits of a distributed CAOC. zShape focus of joint operations. zIntegrate (legacy) systems.

DERA/LS/LSB1/322/9D21/JACL 33 Benefits zHCI –Combat Assessments available at touch of a button. –Provide timely feedback. –Reduce decision making cycle. –Allow more time to formulate responses/ solutions. zArchitecture –Distributed JFACC/CAOC Smaller footprint in theatre, Increase survivability.
