Command and Control (C2) techniques and procedures radically changed with the emergence of Network-Centric capabilities. The extensive amount of information distributed to soldiers in the modern battlefield often results in cognitive overload. Utilizing the human sense of touch to convey information may avoid information bottlenecks. Tactile interfaces seem to be an alternate way to manage information efficiently, especially in small network-enabled units, thereby enhancing their performance on...

Topic: Systems engineering
Command and control (C2) is an enigma that has been studied by military leaders and warfare analysts for hundreds of years. As a result of the numerous definitions and concepts of C2, the design of C2 systems is a challenge to systems engineers. Adding to the challenge is the understanding and integration of new operational concepts, such as Network-Centric Warfare, identified by stakeholders as necessary to meet operational needs. Through the use of a system architecture methodology, this...

Unmanned drones, robots, and vehicles are often chosen to perform tasks in harsh and dangerous environments. Autonomous vehicles are ideal in tactical situations when these vehicles can perform functions for warfighters when the risk to human life is significantly too high. In particular, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become a common staple of military operations. Common sizes range from slingshot-launched spy bots to global guardians. Small UAV of all types have limited mission...

A successful terrorist attack using a ship as a weapon (SAW) on shore infrastructure in the Malacca and Singapore Straits would cause chaos to global trade, as these Straits carry over one-quarter of the world's commerce and half the world's oil. This calamity must be prevented. Toward this goal, this thesis aims at developing and determining the best distributed sensor network (DSN) architecture and implementing a sensor fusion algorithm for tracking a SAW intended to run into the oil and...

There are prominent unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) systems existing in the commercial marketplace today, but these systems have a relatively small role and presence in U.S. Navy application. This thesis suggests what existing commercially available UUV system architectural attributes could be used now in U.S. Navy applications. After a survey of multiple existing commercial UUV systems, five of the prevalent systems in the marketplace were selected for analysis and comparison of their system...

Network-Centric Warfare (NCW) is a theory of war in the information age that hypothesizes that forces, which exploit networked conditions better than their adversaries, will achieve tactical advantage. Understanding how Network-Centric Systems (NCS) that support NCW are acquired is essential for the continued development and delivery of systems that are affordable, meet end-user requirements, and that can be fielded quickly. The Network-Centric Acquisition Process (NCAP) will enable the DoD to...

This study examined the effectiveness of Introductory Flight Screening (IFS) for U.S. Navy and Marine Corps student pilots. It compared a non-IFS group to an IFS-complete group to determine if IFS had any effect on Primary drop-on-request (DOR) and flight-failure (FF) attrition. It then examined the return on investment (ROI) of the IFS program utilizing T-34 flying-hour costs, active-duty costs, and opportunity cost-savings of IFS-screened students who did not enter undergraduate pilot...

Currently, all Missile Defense Agency (MDA) instrumentation radars are land-based at Reagan Test Site (RTS) in the Marshall Islands and the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) on the Hawaiian island of Kauai. The dependency on land-based radars produces significant gaps in radar coverage of planned ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) tests. The S.S. Beaver State is a former cargo ship that was converted to a crane ship. The purpose of a crane ship is to unload/load other ships at ports...

Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) are designed and built to have minimum crew sizes thus, while the ship is in port, there are fewer crewmembers to facilitate pier monitoring, security, and conducting mustering of personnel. The crew of LCS ships presently have too many responsibilities to ensure 100% coverage of the Pier area 100% of the time, and cannot manually maintain a real time muster of all ships personnel. This lack of coverage and situational awareness could make LCS ships vulnerable to...
