Abstract
The Tactical Information Technologies for Assured Network Operations (TITAN) Program aims to achieve net-centric information and knowledge management and dissemination integrated with data-to-decision C2 Applications. TITAN is a multi-year effort to develop, demonstrate and mature information and knowledge (I&K) management and dissemination (M&D) services spanning multiple echelons and provide support to the network-centric operations process with collaborative military planning and execution monitoring. TITAN integrates heterogeneous, open-source intelligent agents and web services with network-centric communications infrastructures. These agents and services are designed to support users executing the Operations Process for command and control across command echelons from units on the upper tactical internet at brigade and above to units on the lower tactical internet at battalion and below. The result is an adaptive system for collaborative battle command planning, execution and monitoring.
In delivering TITAN, the team had to engineer novel solutions to several current research problems. These technical contributions include the development of a Battle Command-Warfighter (BCW) interface that integrates planning with situation awareness; definition of interoperability schemas for C2 information sources and services; management of distributed provenance; implementation of a network-centric message bus for communications across different network echelons and radios; and the development of agents and services to support Mission Command planning processes and numerous Data-to-Decision (D2D) threads in a comprehensive manner to execute TRADOC's Multi-Level Scenario. The integrated TITAN system has been demonstrated in numerous settings and was featured at the Ft. Dix C4ISR "On the Move" experiment in summer 2011.
