This paper attempts to develop a coherent group of previously uncodified basic concepts, military communications principles, to provide qualitative theoretical linkage in support of the tenets of U.S. AirLand Battle Doctrine. Further, the proposed communications principles are neither technology dependent nor combat operations inhibiting, but should govern the development and implementation of communications in support of command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) at the tactical and operational levels of war. TO ensure requisite C3I communications, basic concepts must be both rigorous and clear. The five (5) operational principles presented in this paper -- continunity, homogeneity, versatility, security and simplicity -- present a starting point for the development of military communication theory in support of current operational doctrine, and are supported by historical antecedents. Along with each operational principle the supporting subordinate elements and their associated qualitative criterion are developed and presented. Finally, a chapter on implications for system design describes a conceptual military communications system found on the principles developed and discussed in this paper. (Author).

To control and exploit air and space requires that the Air Force have properly trained people, superior equipment and the right information - at the right place and at the right time - concerning its own forces and those of any adversary. For this reason, C31 is more important than ever, and a critical element to ensuring the Air Force can fulfill its mission. Our military forces, although reduced in size must be highly flexible, globally responsive, and at times deadly precise. They must operate successfully in high threat, high technology environments. and in new missions such as humanitarian assistance. With revolutionary C31 technologies, we can respond accurately and effectively to the rapidly changing international scene. With innovative technologies, we can control the increasing instability of the battlefield and overwhelm the increasing sophistication of our adversaries. Our vision is simple. We want to ensure that our warfighters have total control and a comprehensive view of the battlefield. We will give our warfighters access to whatever data they need and will ensure that It's up to date and accurate.

This report presents the results of a system analysis of many of the AFRL/IF programs that support target engagement under the banner of Sensor to Decision-maker to Shooter. Some of these programs cut across AFRL directorates, are funded by multiple sources and have joint service and coalition partner involvement. The analysis also included a review of the current threat and architecture issues being flagged by Air Force as important to warfighter capabilities. The analysis focused on meeting current needs as well as outlining technical design difficulties, and transition opportunities. The AFRL/IF has done an excellent job in gaining support and funding for key programs. Strong partnerships have been established across the Air Force, Joint and Coalition communities, putting AFRL/IF in a great position to make significant technical contributions leading to a fully compliant fielded capability. This report summarizes key program findings and Recommendations.
