October 9, Government Computing News - DOD aims for a seamless flow of
information. The new killer weapon of the future will not be a bomb,
ship or
plane. It will be information, according to Army Lt. Gen. Joseph K.
Kellogg
Jr., who was the luncheon speaker at yesterday's 2002 Military
Communications Conference in Anaheim, Calif. "Information will be the
new
silver bullet of the future," said Kellogg, director for command,
control,
communications and computer systems for the Joint Staff. Kellogg is the
principal adviser to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on all C4
matters within the Defense Department. "This will change the way we
fight.
The battlefield will be seamless, and it will be integrated." To
accomplish
the IT goals in the joint arena, Kellogg said, DOD is studying its
command
and control requirements and plans to create a federation of joint
combatant
commanders to coordinate and integrate C4 and intelligence, surveillance
and
reconnaissance systems. Source.
