Welcome to
Military & Aerospace Electronics Magazine online. Here, you'll find information on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, otherwise known as
C4ISR (search articles now). Systems integrators can implement C4ISR capability through C4ISR rugged deployable computer systems that adhere to a specific C4ISR architecture framework involving C4ISR rugged deployable computer hardware, networking hardware and software, as well as wired and wireless data links. Readers can find this information in current and archived articles from our print issues, Web-exclusive articles, sponsored white papers, and Webcasts.
Amid quickly changing military threats from conventional and terrorist forces throughout the world, U.S. and allied military forces rely on advanced C4ISR capabilities implemented through C4ISR rugged deployable computer systems, C4ISR architecture framework approaches, ground-based RF networks, laser satellite communications, RF satellite communications, advanced networking on the move, the
Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), and other communications systems more than ever before
(see "Rugged computers become everyday battlefield equipment").
In addition to C4ISR rugged deployable computer systems, implementing the capabilities of C4ISR requires a suitable C4ISR architecture framework. This kind of C4ISR architecture framework involves software, sophisticated integrated networks from local areas on the ground all the way into space, rugged displays, wearable computers, industry standards, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software, and advanced systems such as the space-based Transformational Satellite Communications System, otherwise known as TSAT
(see "Optical links are key to next-generation military communications satellite").
The coverage of C4ISR rugged deployable computer systems and C4ISR architecture framework approaches readers will see in the pages of Military & Aerospace Electronics and on the magazine's Web page, in addition to the TSAT and JTRS, involve Special Forces communications, how to balance speed and heat in military electronic and opto-electronic systems, the Army Future Combat System (FCS), vehicle electronics -- also known as vetronics, systems for infantry soldiers, software defined radio, networking and connectivity, and a host of other important and timely topics.
Put simply, implementing C4ISR capability through C4ISR rugged deployable computer systems that adhere to a specific C4ISR architecture framework enables military forces at all command echelons not only to share information in real time, but also to share a common knowledge of the battlefield
(see "Transformational Communications"). Achieving the goal of shared knowledge in real time, which is a primary aim of C4ISR rugged deployable computer systems that adhere to a specific C4ISR architecture framework, will transform the nature of future warfare.
