Data Centric C2-Services Deployment: an Experiment on Fleets of Military Vehicles

EasyChair Preprint 6312

Abstract

Defense operational and tactical activities are increasingly shifting towards joint, interagency, multinational and public (JIMP) partners. In addition, C2 is based on data being generated at an increasing rate by an increasing number of sources in the physical, human and information landscape. Future C2 systems need to cope with this varying number of heterogeneous, distributed knowledge bases using an information services architecture. We therefore propose that a data centric approach for the enabling infrastructure may provide a better and future-proof basis than a traditional application centric architecture, which has been a major focal point for IT-design and development over the last decades. Using an experimental data centric architecture, we aim to understand how a vehicle fleet data processing infrastructure can offer 1) quicker access to the data(sets) users require for developing their services by automated data synchronization and discovery; and 2) provide better insights into service performance by automatically gathering telemetry to generate recommendations for fleet managers.

Keyphrases: Container orchestration, Service-oriented, data-centric, fleet management
