1	The Revolution in Military Affairs and Air Power Wang, Chen-Tung 24 July 2003 (has links) The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA) and Air Power with research methods of historical comparison and literature review. Specifically, this study is to explore characteristics and influences of RMA, a modern military concept, as well as to try to answer two questions listed as follows: 1. Whether RMS brings about Air Power¡¦s changes in its quality? What changes are they? 2. Is Air Power a dominant force in RMA? In other words, are Sea Power and Land Power no longer crucial or only subordinate to Air Power in RMA? To answer the previous two questions, this study discusses the following three issues from the perspectives of weapon system, fighting principles and organization: 1. What are essential characters of RMA? What are RMA¡¦s impacts on roles and labor division of Army, Navy and Air Force? Does RMA have the greatest impact on Air Force? 2. What is so called ¡§RMA¡¨ in USA? What impacts does RMA have on warfare? 3. As a super power in the world, what is USA Air Force¡¦s future direction? Being a mid-class military power, what new vision should ROC Air Force hold in terms of weapon system, fighting principles and organization? How should ROC Air Force respond to such a new trend as RMA? Three conclusions are come up as follows: 1. Military power has developed from focusing on changes in quantity to changes in quality. Many war theories that are generally recognized have been called in question. A modern war model will mainly pursue a quick end to a war and a decrease of soldiers and civilians¡¦ injury. Future study can try to find out which military force, such as Army, Navy, and Air Force, can play a dominant role from the beginning to the end of a war. 2. Though different military forces have different environmental characteristics, each one puts extensive dependence on one another and such dependence should be highly valued. Future research can study whether final goals of warfare entail Army, Navy and Air Force¡¦s contribution and cooperation in accomplishing missions. Given that Air Power cannot exist in isolation, future research can study whether definitions of military labor division, Air Force¡¦s role and war behavior anticipation will produce dramatic changes in Air Power. 3. RMA is indeed a world power¡¦s belief, asserting that a world power does not necessarily have a capability to occupy its adversary¡¦s territory with expansion of precision-guided weaponry. By promoting RMA, USA military forces realize their vision and prospect of the 21st century. New technology developed in RMA, such as aerospace unmanned hypersonic aircrafts and munitions, enables USA military forces to launch flash attacks on its enemy from USA soil; USA no longer needs to continuously rely on region coalitions and advance bases all over the world. As a matter of fact, aerospace forces have become the most powerful tools for USA to react all kinds of conflicts. Future study can examine how Taiwan, when encountering superior military forces, can counteract RMA rather than blindly follow and imitate USA¡¦s mindset. How to enforce and train military manpower with the guidance of our own military philosophy is a crucial issue worthy of our care and consideration. Air Power RMA C4ISR Total War

3	Vad innebär införandet av FMN för Försvarsmaktens insatsledningssystem? / What does the implementation of FMN mean for the Swedish Armed Forces C2-systems? Bengtsson, Ingemar January 2016 (has links) Försvarsmakten har angett att senast år 2023 ska Försvarsmaktens insatsledningssystem vara fullt ut FMN kompatibla. Detta arbete ska besvara vad som initialt behöver förändras i Försvarsmaktens insatsledningsstödsystem för att dessa ska uppnå FMN kompatibilitet. Nuvarande FMN spiralspecifikation innehåller i princip enbart stöd för de grundläggande människa-till-människa kommunikationstjänsterna. Med hjälp av dessa ska funktions-kedjorna för SA, JISR och MEDEVAC genomföras. Försvarsmakten är tydlig med att interoperabilitet är viktigt för att kunna verka med andra, både inom och utanför närområdet. Det framgår dock inte lika tydligt vilka av Försvarsmaktens insatsledningssystem som berörs av FMN. Detta arbete har kommit fram till att SWECCIS troligen är det insatsledningsstödsystem som bäst motsvarar vad FMN försöker realisera idag och att SWECCIS i grunden är FMN kompatibel. SWECCIS tillhandahåller dock bara fyra av de sex människa-till-människa kommunikationstjänsterna, och Försvarsmaktens nuvarande lösning för att tillhandahålla ljudbaserad samarbetstjänst är inte FMN kompatibel. Framtida FMN spiralspecifikationer kommer att ställa ytterligare krav på Försvarsmaktens insatsledningsstödsystem för att dessa fortsatt ska vara FMN kompatibla. / The Swedish Armed Forces have declared that by the year 2023, the Swedish Armed Forces C2-systems are to be fully FMN compliant. This thesis is to answer what initially needs to change in the C4ISR to enable them to achieve FMN compatibility. The current FMN Spiral specification provides, in principle, only support for the essential human-to-human communication services. With this, the SA, JISR and MEDEVAC Mission Thread are to be conducted. The Swedish Armed Forces is clear about the importance of interoperability in order to act together with others, both within and outside its region. But it is less clear which of the Swedish Armed Forces C2-system that is affected by FMN. This thesis has come to the conclusion that SWECCIS probably is the C4ISR that best represents what FMN is trying to achieve today, and that SWECCIS basically is FMN compliant. SWECCIS provides, however, only four of the six human-to-human communications services, and the Swedish Armed Forces' current solution to provide audio-based collaboration services is not FMN compliant. The future FMN Spiral specifications will place more demands on the Swedish Armed Forces C4ISR for those to maintain their FMN compliant.

4	Arquitectura de interconexión entre sistemas C4ISR y mundos virtuales aplicando el estándar MPEG-V Ardila Sierra, Laura Inés 07 March 2016 (has links) [EN] Whenever an emergency occurs, personnel involved in its resolution make every possible effort to minimize casualties and keep citizens safe. Performing continuous and regular training exercises helps improve planning, actuation protocols and the harmonization of procedures between various agencies. The application of information and communication technologies (ICT) in emergency management is a relevant research field. Particularly, the development of command and control systems (C2IS) to manage crisis resolution and the use of virtual worlds to develop training exercises are challenging and evolving areas. However, the insertion of a C2IS within a networked training system based on virtual worlds and using commercial off-the-shelf equipment has not been sufficiently exploited. In this context, the development of a hybrid system connecting real computers and sensors with virtual computers is a key strategy. In particular, the deployment of a middleware to interconnect heterogeneous applications using standardized data formats. This thesis contributes to facilitate performing training exercises in emergency management that in real life are complicated, inflexible and very expensive. An architecture to connect a command and control system operating in the real world with one or several virtual worlds through an interconnection gateway that implements MPEG-V based data formats and by using web services via TCP/IP as a communication platform is proposed, deployed and validated. / [ES] Cuando ocurre una emergencia, el personal involucrado en su resolución hace todo lo posible por reducir al mínimo las fatalidades y mantener seguros a los ciudadanos.

La aplicación de las tecnologías de información y comunicaciones (TIC) en la gestión de grandes emergencias es un campo de investigación muy relevante. En particular, el desarrollo de sistemas de mando y control (C2IS) para gestionar la resolución de una crisis y el uso de mundos virtuales para la implementación de ejercicios de entrenamiento de personal son áreas en continuo desarrollo. Sin embargo, la integración de un C2IS dentro de un sistema de simulación en red para entrenamiento basado en mundos virtuales y usando equipos comerciales (COTS) no ha sido explotada suficientemente. Dentro de este contexto, desarrollar un sistema híbrido conectando entidades y sensores reales con entidades virtuales presenta una estrategia clave. En particular, la implementación de un software intermedio (middleware) para interconectar aplicaciones heterogéneas usando formatos de datos estandarizados. Esta tesis contribuye a facilitar la realización de ejercicios de entrenamiento en gestión de emergencias que en la vida real son complicados, poco flexibles y muy costosos. Se propone, implementa y valida una arquitectura para conectar un sistema de mando y control operando en el mundo real con uno o varios mundos virtuales, a través de una pasarela de interconexión que implementa un modelo de datos basado en MPEG-V y utiliza servicios web vía TCP/IP para la comunicación entre nodos. / [CA] Quan ocorre una emergència, el personal involucrat en la resolució fa tots els possibles per reduir al mínim les fatalitats i mantenir segurs els ciutadans.

5	Low Intensity Conflict: Contemporary Approaches and Strategic Thinking Searle, Deane January 2007 (has links) Low Intensity Conflict (LIC) is a significant feature of the contemporary world and it is a particular challenge to the armed forces of many states which are involved is such conflict, or are likely to become so. This thesis is not concerned with how such difficult conflict situations arise. Rather it is concerned with how, from the point of view of the state, they may be contained and ultimately brought to a satisfactory resolution. The work is thus concerned with the practicalities of ending LIC. More specifically, the purpose of this research is to establish a framework of doctrinal and military principles applicable to the prevention and resolution of LIC. The principles of this thesis are based in numerous historical examples of LIC and six in depth case studies. These distilled principles are analysed in two central chapters, and are then applied in two latter defence force chapters so as to ensure there practicality and resilience. Numerous defence academics and military practitioners have been consulted in the production of this thesis; their contribution has further reinforced the functionality of the principles examined in this research. The research illustrates the criticality of a holistic approach to LIC. The function of this approach is to guarantee the stability of the sovereign state, by unifying civil, police, intelligence and military services. The effectiveness of the military elements must also be ensured, as military force is central to the suppression of LIC. Consequently, the research makes strategic and operational prescriptions, so as to improve the capability of defence forces that are concerned with preventing or resolving LIC. low intensity conflict counterinsurgent counterinsurgency insurgent insurgency guerrilla small wars conflict combat urban conflict new zealand defence force australian defence force afghanistan iraq somalia chechnya east timor bougainville bosnia defence policy doctrine soviet russia red army airpower combined arms intelligence command control communications surveillance intervention peacekeeping peacebuilding peace enforcement strategy tactics infantry armour aviation non-urban terrain psychological war small scale operations combat service support civil military affairs urban dominance rapid dominance manoeuvre warfare nationalism restraint civil resolve operation enduring freedom operation anaconda suppressing fire joint warfare synergy strike target acquisition civil affairs public affairs operation iraqi freedom operation telic professionalism asymmetric warfare power projection sea power precision strike C4ISTAR C4ISR HUMINT logistics coalition post war environment internal security population security civil support unitary command expeditionary civil service personnel techniques standard operating procedures artillery protection manoeuvrability firepower visibility helicopters aircraft friendly fire initiative policy training light armoured vehicle light operational vehicle aviation navy air force army counter communications sea control maritime power projection rules of engagement engineers
