Annual Report to The President and The Congress of the Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction (2nd). II. Toward a National Strategy for Combating Terrorism
The ability to provide the joint war-fighter with near-real-time tactical intelligence and targeting information is now a military necessity. Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) for the Warrior may be the foundation upon which the military builds its ability to analyze, act and assess information faster than its' opponents. Because of this, the intelligence community must ensure timely dissemination of its products, and the communications community must continue to develop, procure, manage and maintain the communications required by the disseminators. The objective of this issue of The DTIC Review is to highlight the capabilities, design and architecture of intelligence communications as well as to document current efforts in Command, Control, Communications, Computers and intelligence (C4I) that supply real-time intelligence and real-time communications. The technical documents and bibliography examine the research and strategies developed to integrate C4I systems and migrate C4I networks into the envisioned seamless, global, interoperable environment.
