THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNOVATIVE SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURES

THIS PROPOSAL FOR THE AUTOMATION OF THE WARFARE SYSTEMS ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS SEEKS TO DEVELOP AN INNOVATIVE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR THE EW MISSION AREA AND FOCUSES PRIMARILY ON THE CVBF FORCE STRUCTURE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE EW MISSION AREA. IT WILL FOCUS ON THE EW ARCHITECTURE AS IT IS MOLDED THROUGH THE AUTOMATED APPLICATION OF THE OVERALL ARCHITECTURAL PROCESS. A KNOWLEDGE-BASED SYSTEM CAPABLE OF RULE-BASED INFERENCING AND SUPPORTING OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING IS THE KERNEL OF THE SYSTEM. THROUGH THIS SYSTEM IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO EMBODY AS SYSBOLIC OBJECT STRUCTURES THE FUNCTIONAL AND PHYSICAL ARCHITECTURES REQUIRED IN THE ARCHITECTURAL PROCESS. USING THE RULE-BASED INFERENCING CAPABILITIES OF THE SYSTEM, PHYSICAL ARCHITECTURE PERFORMANCE SHORTFALLS AND OVERLAPS WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND RESOLUTIONS WILL OCCUR. THIS PROCESS MAY DEPEND ONA REPRESENTATION AS OBJECT STRUCTURES OF BOTH 1) THE AVAILABLE AND FEASIBLE TECHNOLOGIES (EMBODIED IN A TECHNOLOGICAL ARCHITECTURE) AND 2) THE CURRENT AND ANTICIPATED ENEMY THREAT (EMBODIED IN A THREAT ARCHITECTURE). ??????????????????????????
