  • REENGINEERING THE UNITED STATES ARMY'S TACTICAL COMMAND AND CONTROL OPERATIONAL ARCHITECTURE FOR Information Operations
    2014
    Co-Authors: Ed. \j. J. Charnes, Robert G Phelan, D. J. L\iorrice, D. T. Brunner, J. J. Snrain, Michael L Mcginnis
    Abstract:

    During the past few years, the Army has undertaken a major effort to integrate computer, Information, and communication technologies throughout the force. These technologies have made a profound impact on the Army's tactical command and control (C 2 processes, especially at division and below. This paper presents a computer simulation model to support the reengineering of the United States Army's staff organization at division and below for Information Operations. The simulation model under development will provide force planners with a tool for methodically conducting comparative analyses of specific alternatives for reengineering tactical level Army staffs to improve efficiency and effectiveness of staff work related to Information Operations.

  • reengineering the united states army s tactical command and control operational architecture for Information Operations

    Co-Authors: Robert G Phelan, Michael L Mcginnis
    Abstract:

    During the past few years, the Army has undertaken a major effort to integrate computer, Information, and communication technologies throughout the force. These technologies have made a profound impact on the Army's tactical command and control (C/sup 2/) processes, especially at division and below. This paper presents a computer simulation model to support the reengineering of the United States Army's staff organization at division and below for Information Operations. The simulation model under development will provide force planners with a tool for methodically conducting comparative analyses of specific alternatives for reengineering tactical level Army staffs to improve efficiency and effectiveness of staff work related to Information Operations.

  • composite strategy for multicriteria ranking sorting methodological issues examples
    arXiv: Optimization and Control, 2012
    Co-Authors: Mark Sh. Levin
    Abstract:

    The paper addresses the modular design of composite solving strategies for multicriteria ranking (sorting). Here a 'scale of creativity' that is close to creative levels proposed by Altshuller is used as the reference viewpoint: (i) a basic object, (ii) a selected object, (iii) a modified object, and (iv) a designed object (e.g., composition of object components). These levels maybe used in various parts of decision support systems (DSS) (e.g., Information, Operations, user). The paper focuses on the more creative above-mentioned level (i.e., composition or combinatorial synthesis) for the operational part (i.e., composite solving strategy). This is important for a search/exploration mode of decision making process with usage of various procedures and techniques and analysis/integration of obtained results. The paper describes methodological issues of decision technology and synthesis of composite strategy for multicriteria ranking. The synthesis of composite strategies is based on 'hierarchical morphological multicriteria design' (HMMD) which is based on selection and combination of design alternatives (DAs) (here: local procedures or techniques) while taking into account their quality and quality of their interconnections (IC). A new version of HMMD with interval multiset estimates for DAs is used. The operational environment of DSS COMBI for multicriteria ranking, consisting of a morphology of local procedures or techniques (as design alternatives DAs), is examined as a basic one.

  • Information Operations, electronic warfare, and cyberwar: Capabilities and related policy issues
    Electronic Warfare, 2010
    Co-Authors: C. Wilson
    Abstract:

    This report describes the emerging areas of Information Operations, electronic warfare, and cyberwar in the context of U.S. national security. It also suggests related policy issues of potential interest to Congress. For military planners, the control of Information is critical to military success, and communications networks and computers are of vital operational importance. The use of technology to both control and disrupt the flow of Information has been generally referred to by several names: Information warfare, electronic warfare, cyberwar, netwar, and Information Operations (IO). Currently, IO activities are grouped by the Department of Defense (DoD) into five core capabilities: (1) Psychological Operations, (2) Military Deception, (3) Operational Security, (4) Computer Network Operations, and (5) Electronic Warfare. Current U.S. military doctrine for IO now places increased emphasis on Psychological Operations, Computer Network Operations, and Electronic Warfare, which includes the use of non-kinetic electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons, and nonlethal weapons for crowd control. However, as high technology is increasingly incorporated into military functions, the boundaries between all five IO core capabilities are becoming blurred. DoD has noted that military functions involving the electromagnetic spectrum take place in what is now called the cyber domain, similar to air, land, and sea. This cyber domain is the responsibility of the new Air Force Cyber Command and includes cyberwarfare, electronic warfare, and protection of U.S. critical infrastructure networks that support telecommunications systems, utilities, and transportation. This report will be updated to accommodate significant changes.

  • Information warfare and cyberwar capabilities and related policy issues
    2004
    Co-Authors: C. Wilson
    Abstract:

    Abstract : This report describes the emerging areas of Information warfare and cyberwar in the context of U.S. national security. It assesses known U.S. capabilities and plans, and suggests related policy issues of potential interest to Congress. This report will be updated to accommodate significant changes. Military planning is shifting away from the Cold War view that power is derived from platforms, and more toward the view that combat power can be enhanced by communications networks and technologies that control access to, and directly manipulate Information. As a result, Information itself is now both a tool and a target of warfare. As concepts emerge, new uses of technology to disrupt the flow of Information to affect the ability or willingness of an adversary to fight is referred to by several names: Information warfare, cyberwar, and netwar. The U.S. Department of Defense uses the term Information Operations, and has grouped related activities into five core capabilities: Psychological Operations, Military Deception, Operational Security, Computer Network Operations, and Electronic Warfare. Some weapons used for IO are referred to as non-kinetic, and include high power microwave (HPM) or directed electromagnetic energy weapons (EMP) that, in short pulses, can overpower and permanently degrade computer circuitry, or in other applications, can cause temporary physical discomfort.

SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF: Collagen is the most important structural protein in the animal kingdom and is responsible for the strength and integrity of many tissues like bone, teeth, cartilage and tendons. The mechanical properties of these tissues are determined by their hierarchical structure. However, how each level contributes to the overall properties of collagenous tissues, and how individual hierarchical levels interact, remains poorly understood. Furthermore, despite extensive experimental and computational studies including both the single molecule and macro-scale
