Gateway Interface for C4ISR Platforms and their Assets

ABSTRACT

We propose to design a JBI gateway that could serve as middleware for integrating C4ISR Systems using the JBI platform as the common information dissemination platform. A JBI Gateway is a JBI-like embedded software unit with force template software support. This gateway would enable C4ISR platforms to securely plug into the JBI and exchange information. We will evaluate the feasibility and capability of using a JBI gateway to support C4ISR platforms and their assets.

Key words: C4ISR integration, information management force templates, combat information systems, Joint Battlespace Infosphere.
