Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 16, 2021 Space EA's new post-quantum encryption network defeats quantum's destructive effect against security, while enabling satellite architectures and communication networks the ability to harness [...]

National militaries are beginning to invest in solutions and protocols to protect their intelligence databases and weapons systems against cyber-warfare. The issue is discussed with reference to the development of dedicated cyber-security services such as the U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) and government efforts to establish international cyber-security regulations.

The continuing development and upgrading of mission planning systems (MPS) to ensure crew safety and mission success is put forth.

The U.S. Air Force is developing an Internet Protocol (IP)-based wideband networking for the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN) which functions by bridging the wide mix of radio signals. Although BACN in itself is not a radio or a new wave form, but it is a bridge, or a gateway between different radios that could bring a breakthrough in interoperability between military communications systems.

A continuous influx of data necessitates an expert strategy of data management and presentation to prevent it from becoming ineffective and useless. The key components in the development of large-scale model-based data exploitation technology are the volume of data, data sources, a focus on ignored or underutilized data, speed and interpretation to provide the right information at the right time.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has begun research in 2001 for a system that can learn to adapt to their users with a four-phase Augmented Cognition program. A human's ability to take in information, process the same and turn it into knowledge is called the cognitive state.

New technologies may hold the key to achieving interoperability goals, but they also threaten to exacerbate the problem. A key factor to prevail in war situations, will be to anticipate threats and prepare for them, rather than react to them.

Many elements of network centric operations were field-tested in Afghanistan and Iraq wars. The results are improved interoperability, enhanced multidomain participation and reduced system software maintenance costs.

The command in change of the U.S. Army's information systems is reorganizing the way it gives services to its several users, which leads to measurable improvements in the quality of the information processes the Army uses in its missions. The U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command/9th Army Signal Command (NETCOM/9th ASC) is administering the new service-level management (SLM) program.

The high-speed, high-capacity data networks that connect every unit from individual infantryman to the headquarters unit will be helpful for the U.S. Army. The U.S. Army's Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) and the Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS) will link the U.S. combat elements in a seamless network that will enhance commanders' situational awareness.

The author examines the latest in military tactics being used by the U.S. Armed Forces. Topics include military campaigns, military computer systems, and military software.

The defense industry is focusing on autonomous computer systems that will make more decisions on their own with less human intervention and reduces the computer system complexity. The self-managing systems will have to have four main attributes such as self-configuring, self-optimizing, self-healing and self-protecting to become resilient and highly adaptive.

Network-centric warfare uses the power of networks to provide access to information provide military forces with information superiority. The advantages and future of network-centric warfare are discussed.

This article describes the U.S. Department of Defense's effort to connect key command, control, and intelligence facilities around the world, including the Global Information Grid (GIG).

The author examines the use of satellite imagery for use in fighting wildfires. Topics include use of military computer systems, military software, and military research.

The soldiers do not yet have a ruggedised military computer that meets each and every requirement demanded by them in the battlefield. Many companies are trying to develop such computers that can be used by the soldiers in extreme climates and also are small in size, light in weight, compatible with power systems and have electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

The author examines problems facing U.S. Armed Forces in their efforts to prepare for war with Iraq. Topics include continuing threats of Iraq's air defense systems, Iraq's overlapping military computer networks, and problems with logistics.

Elbit Systems is promoting Jedeyes for use with types such as Boeing's AH-64 Apache Elbit Systems has unveiled its Jedeyes rotary-wing helmet-mounted display system, and is promoting the design for [...]

Israel plans to begin registering its civil pilots into a security system that will enable it to identify who is in command of an aircraft approaching the country, rather than [...]

A new network-centric system will allow commanders of the Israeli defence forces to see the obig pictureo based on very advanced sensor fusion. Unmanned air vehicles will play a major [...]

The author examines lessons learned by the U.S. Navy regarding protection of information systems and software during the Iraq war of 2003. Topics include protection of military software and military computer systems, methods of gathering military intelligence, and planning of military operations.

The cyberworm that damaged part of Iran's nuclear weapon program demonstrates countries' increasing vulnerability to cyber-attacks from unknown sources. The origin of the attack is unknown, despite Tehran's claims that the worm was inserted into its computer systems by Israel.

The article discusses the various challenges that the U.S. faces in tackling cyber warfare as well as digital warfare authority, coordination and technology problems. However, the setting up of the U.S. Cyber Command, which is to be operational by October, 2010 is a step in the right direction.

Boeing has selected Thales as the first recommended supplier of an inflight entertainment system in a passenger cabin of its 787 IFE system. Thales will supply a wireless IFE network, dubbed by the Top-Series i-8000, that will allow it to deliver DVD-quality video to passengers without the massive bundles of underfloor wiring that typically lead to each seat.

The author examines criticisms of the U.S. military's reliance on net-centric doctrines. Topics include military strategy and tactics, communications jamming, and military computer systems.
