Research abstract
CONROC IS A DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM WHICH INTERCONNECTS WEAPON SYSTEMS, RECONNAISSANCE SYSTEMS AND COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION SO THAT EACH MEMBER OF THE NETWORK HAS A COMMON PERSPECTIVE OF THE PERTINENT SITUATION. THE COMMAND AND CONTROL NODES IN THE NETWORK CAN INJECT COMMANDS AND ORDERS WHICH ARE ASSIMULATED BY THE OTHER NODES AND EMPLOYED TO SYNCHRONIZE THEIR ACTIONS. SIMILARLY, SITUATIONAL INFORMATION IS CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE NETWORK. BECAUSE EACH NODE HAS A COMMON, GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE, EACH NODE CAN SELECT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT INFORMATION TO BE SENT TO OTHERS. IN THIS MANNER, THE SYSTEM ADAPTS THE FLOW OF INFORMATION TO MATCH THE COMMUNICATIONS BANDWIDTH AVAILABLE. IT INHERENTLY PERFORMS BANDWIDTH REDUCTION.
