COMMAND CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS/SUBSYSTEMS

SPARTA IS PROPOSING TO DEFINE AND EVALUATE A SITUATION RECOGNITION CONCEPT THAT AFFORDS A NOVEL AND WE BELIEVE A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO USING EXISTING AND PROGRAMMED BATTLE MANAGEMENT COMMAND CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS, SURVEILLANCE SENSORS AND OTHER SPACE AND GROUND BASED SYSTEMS TO PROVIDE COMMON DISPLAYS IN THE MAJOR US COMMAND CENTER THAT WILL VARIOUS LEVELS OF DECISION MAKING AUTHORITY IN THE MANAGEMENT OF US STRATEGIC FORCES DURING A PERIOD OF CONFLICT. MUCH OF THE DATA FROM SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS THAT COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE OVER EXISTING STRATEGIC COMMAND CONTROL AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS IS NOT BEING UTILIZED. US SENSORS HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PROVIDE THE NCA AN EARLY ESTIMATE OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HIS ATTACKING FORCES AND WHICH HOSTILE TARGETS ARE AT RISK AND WHICH ARE UNCOVERED DUE TO LOSS OR MALFUNCTION OF US STRATEGIC FORCES. BASED ON THE PROPOSED SITUATION RECOGNITION INFORMATION THAT IS PROPOSED TO BE PROVIDED, A REALLOCATION OF US FORCES CAN BE MADE BASED ON TARGET PRIORITY.
