C4ISR spending consists of Army, Navy, Air Force, and security spending plans, and active, ongoing programs.
Sharp procurement spikes without significant corresponding research reductions for ballistic missile defense, unmanned vehicles and satellites resulted in a substantial uptick in requested 2016
C4ISR spending, said Frost & Sullivan Aerospace & Defense Senior Industry Analyst Brad Curran.
The plan, developed by the
C4ISR field support IPT, consists of a multilevel support structure.
Northrop Grumman defines
C4ISR as creating an overwhelming advantage through situational awareness, knowledge of the adversary and environment, and shortening the time between sensing and shooting through the use of command and communication systems.
Since its inception in Europe during the Battle of Britain (see Armada
C4ISR Compendium 2010),
C4ISR has pursued a steady integration trend, moving away from a spread collection of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets towards computerised command, control, communications and intelligence systems.
Within this framework the C4 and Intelligence Committees seek out the challenges confronting the Director Intelligence, J2/Joint Staff; Defense Intelligence Agency, Combatant Commands, and Military Services to offer industry views and assistance in providing
C4ISR solutions.
C4ISR OTM is an R&D program within the Communications-Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center that evaluates technical applications and maturity for emerging networking, sensors and
C4ISR-enabling platforms on a year-round basis.
The new technical vision highlights the information-centric contributions of naval
C4ISR, business IT and Space Community professionals, and it articulates how C4I products and services employed in-theater are currently playing major roles in war fighter successes.
We intensively managed 128 major defense programs, amounting to over $10 billion in total obligation authority to acquire, field, and provide new equipment training on
C4ISR systems.
The book is not about information warfare per se but systematically analyzes
C4ISR concepts and technologies.
In addition, Quantum3D has employed NVIDIA mobile graphics technology in the company's Sentiris PMC and Ventana PCI embedded graphics subsystems and Thermite tactical visual computers, which have been adopted by Kaiser Electronics, TRW, General Dynamics, Oasis, L3 Communications, Saab, Titan Systems, Lockheed Martin and others for embedded graphics, embedded training and
C4ISR applications.
As you've heard from the panelists, increasingly
C4ISR requires a different thought process as we imagine the potential of a network connecting sensors and shooters and decision makers, and the power that comes from controlling the flow of information.
