A Protocol for Command and Control Systems Integration

Abstract

Integration of Command and Control (C2) systems is a real need in any Joint Operation. Solutions are typically based on data exchange, usually using the Joint Consultation, Command and Control Information Exchange Data Model (JC3IEDM), a data model established by NATO. The use of this model with service oriented architecture (SOA) has been consolidated as one of the key factors to achieve command and control systems integration. However, these solutions require great computer process capacity and broadband networks, which are usually hard to find in military tactical environments. This paper presents approaches of integration systems available, comparing their technologies, pointing out their advantages and disadvantages, and finally proposes requirements for a generic protocol to allow message handling between command and control systems, using the JC3IEDM.
