NTIS SECTION Command, Control, Communication, and Intelligence (C3I). (Latest Citations from the NTIS Bibliographic Database) (Published Search) NERAC, Inc., Tolland, CT. Corp. Source Codes: 103588000 Sponsor: National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA. Oct 96 50-250 citations Languages: English Document Type: Bibliography Journal Announcement: GRAI9701 Updated with each order. Supersedes PB96-850573. Sponsored in part by National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA. NTIS Prices: PC N01/MF N01 Country of Publication: United States The bibliography contains citations concerning the objectives, safety, requirements, design, evaluations, security, and program studies of C3I facilities, aircraft, buildings, and vehicles. Software issues of rapid prototyping, artificial intelligence, expert systems, databases, modeling, and analysis tools are discussed. Fiber optics, local area networks, reliability, military communications, electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression, and electromagnetic pulses (EMP) immunity are presented from the hardware aspect. These systems are used by the U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines at command centers during wartime. (Contains 50-250 citations and includes a subject term index and title list.)

People Side of Information Warfare (Final rept) Weidner, J. H. Naval War Coll., Newport, RI. Corp. Source Codes: 020162000; 252900 16 Jun 96 32p Languages: English Journal Announcement: GRAI9701 NTIS Prices: PC A04/MF A01 Country of Publication: United States Whether at the strategic, operational or tactical level of war, success has become directly related to getting the right information to the right person at the right time. Information-
based technologies have permitted orders-of-magnitude increases in the speed at which information can be transmitted, processed, and accessed. Always a concern when dealing with such potentially large quantities of real-time information is the problem of information overload of the users. That will be the impact of this information flow on the individuals at the human-machine interface. Recently, a few notable authors have expressed reservations about the promises of information warfare. Interestingly, those reservations center on issues relatedto getting enough talented people to serve as information warriors. This paper examines some of the issues related to the people side of information warfare. Arguably, the real center of gravity is not information but rather the information warriors themselves. The challenge will be, as it has always been, to ensure that we have enough talented individuals to get the job done.

C3 Balance and Operational Art (Final rept) Jordan, K. B. Naval War Coll., Newport, RI. Corp. Source Codes: 020162000; 252900 14 Jun 96 20p Languages: English Journal Announcement: GRAI9701 NTIS Prices: PC A03/MF A01 Country of Publication: United States This paper considers Operational art within the larger context of 'all art', as defined by Aristotle, in which balance is crucial to artistic expression. The paper recommends ways of employing the C3 system to balance creativity and constraint in pursuit of Operational art. The focus is on employing Expert Systems information buffers as a means of adjusting information flow in advanced C3 systems to that level which best serves the commander's needs under the given circumstances.
