TR 97–002, Situational Awareness. Capability to create an accurate and high–fidelity, all–weather, common collaborative real–time picture of the battlespace to include weather, terrain, environment, and friendly/enemy/neutral/noncombatant situational and status information. The common picture must be continuous and selectable from the common air, stationary, or on–the–move (OTM) ground platforms, air defense, naval, space, and wargaming sources depending on the needs of the viewer. The common picture provides understanding of available information in terms of the battlespace—width, depth, height, position, time, terrain, materiel, weather, obstacles and barriers, early warning of nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC)/theater ballistic missile hazards, electromagnetic, and human. The relevant common picture must be scaleable to appropriate levels of command, tailorable by function and personal preference, and based on variable user defined parameters. To effectively use the common picture at various echelons, there must be a capability to electronically partition data and to hand off relevant data to the appropriate user. The common picture must be based on standardized decision–oriented graphics. These standardized graphics must be shared with and include joint and coalition forces, and must be portrayed over a common, relevant, tailored, and accurate terrain picture. Achievement of this capability is key to battlefield visualization by conveying to the warfighter an immediate understanding of the operational impact of the current and projected situation and provide predictive information, impacting enhanced survivability, facilitating synchronization of fires, maneuver, and logistics/personnel supportability and accountability in order to achieve maneuver dominance and influence battle tempo.

TR 97–016, Information Analysis. The Army requires the capability for common systems at all echelons to provide rapid analysis, processing, collaboration, understanding, and throughput of information from all sources (air, ground, sea, space) within compressed decision timelines. Fusion and aggregation must occur between bottom–up and top–down feeds. Information must be rapidly retrievable or accessible in an internet, nonhierarchical environment at all echelons by appropriate users requesting the data. High capacity data storage and data retrieval are required to facilitate seamless, real–time information exchange across joint, national, coalition forces, and intra–/intervehicular/platform exchange. Require means to tailor information (mission, enemy, troops, terrain, and time) to meet individual needs. Ability to process OTM is required thus mandating reduced processor size and weight. Processing capability must be accurate, timely, and enhance operator efficiency. Capability to work at various classification levels (multilevel security) is required. Achieving this capability will permit the processing environment to rapidly and dynamically assimilate information to satisfy multiple battlefield functions.

TR 97–017, Information Display. The Army requires a family of displays to access information easily from any location in the battlespace. Display requirements include an integrated family of displays that covers various needs from large screen displays in a homestation, rear area, or CP environment; mobile displays that can be accessed en route or in moving ground and aerial vehicles; and personal displays used by the individual soldier such as a heads up capability. Each of these display applications must be adapted to specific information needs and resolution requirements. All displays must be capable of realistic 3D portrayal and evolve to incorporation of holograms and full sensory virtual reality presentation. Displays must be fully reconfigurable to suit situational needs and personal preferences without disrupting the underlying information sources. Interactive tools must be incorporated in the display capability. The display hardware and software must be user friendly and minimize operator training requirements. Because the systems will be employed in stressful physical and mental environments, multiple layers of menus should be avoided. Achieving this capability facilitates access to tailored battlefield information from any location either static or OTM.

Information Protection—Information protection requires the capability to reduce the adversary’s ability to attack friendly information systems and reduce friendly vulnerability to counter information gathering operations. C⁴I systems must survive to operate in all weather conditions, on dirty battlefields, and despite enemy disruption efforts. The protection capability must provide warning of unauthorized penetration and monitoring; facilities protection; a capability to recover from loss of processing capability or loss of data; computer virus detection, protection, and source identification; and multilevel security and controls to disguise active signatures and prevent pattern detection. Decoys must simulate sight, sound, thermal, image, and electronic signatures of friendly high–payoff C² nodes. The capabilities supporting the protection of C² and decision making information will also be available to protect non–C² information systems.

Information Attack—Information attack requires the capability to destroy, disrupt, deny, deceive, degrade, target, destroy, or neutralize adversary information networks and C² systems. Options may vary from surgical jamming of the frequency spectrum to intrusion into C² systems to manipulate data. To effectively conduct information attack, a thorough understanding of the adversary’s decision making and C² process is required. Information attack systems must be multifunction and modular and capable of defeating optics, electro–optics and night vision devices; jamming the entire frequency spectrum; electronic intrusion and data manipulation without alerting operators of computer compromise; electronic deception; computer attack; and the use of precision munitions to seek out and destroy high–payoff information systems engaged in collection, processing, dissemination, or display of information. Information attack impedes the adversary’s decision making process and potentially lengthens friendly decision making timelines and windows of opportunity.

Information Exploitation—Information exploitation requires integrated ground, airborne, and space–based multidiscipline collection systems that support situation development. Capability requires the collection of information from an adversary’s information age systems such as digital and LPI communications. Tools must exist to allow for analysis of an adversary’s C² system. Distributed all–source analysis and dissemination systems are required to facilitate seamless access to intelligence information at all echelons.

TR 97–020, Information Collection, Dissemination, and Analysis. The Army requires collection capability that enables warfighters to see and understand the 360–degree, 3D battlespace with the timeliness necessary to shape the battlespace. The collection capability must be an integrated effort between ground, airborne, spacebased, manned or unmanned, organic, nonmilitary intelligence, joint, national, or multinational assets. Sensors must be able to detect, identify, and locate and confirm active and passive targets that are underground, above ground, waterborne, airborne, or in space to support targeting, situation awareness, or force protection requirements. To support targeting requirements sensors must be capable of collecting air and missile threats, supporting counter–drug activity, supporting the employment of smart munitions, detecting enemy emitters, detecting missile launchers, detecting chemical and biological (CB) facilities, detecting ICBMs/SLBMs, detecting logistics forces, and discerning and attacking targets through the employment of a smart/brilliant munitions. To support situation awareness requirements sensors must be capable of detecting "modern" communications signals and nontraditional electromagnetic signals, friendly and enemy data, terrain data, weather data, soil conditions, climatic information, NBC contamination (including physical state and density data), toxic industrial chemicals, natural and manmade obstacles, obscurants (including wavelength and density), battle damage assessment and the presence of mines; collecting information from adversarial data stores and map adversarial C² nodes; providing reconnaissance, surveillance, early warning, and indications and warning; and supporting counter–drug activities, police intelligence operations, identification friend or foe (IFF), and drop–zone intelligence.

To support force protection requirements sensors must be capable of detecting intrusions in support of area security, supporting airspace deconfliction and IFF, and supporting survivability through the detection of laser employment, muzzle flash, use of millimeter–wave or acoustics and radar warning. Information must be collected for all levels of operations regardless of natural or manmade environmental conditions (weather, terrain, obscurants, electronic warfare, cluttered conditions, day/night, etc.). Collection systems must be modular and tailorable with multifunction capabilities and extended ranges. Collectors must be full spectrum, capable of covering wide areas, multidimensional, and extremely accurate to enable precision operations and strike. Sensors must operate autonomously in semiautomatic and manual modes, function within short detection timelines, be capable of remote operation, operate in a real–time/seamless environment, perform dedicated long–dwell missions, discriminate between conventional and weapons of mass destruction munitions, handle mass attacks, automatically identify targets, employ sensor–to–shooter linkages, operate in both point and area modes, be easily reprogrammable and employ modular plug–in capabilities.
