The JPEO-CBD is managed by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center San Diego and is directed by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command. The SSA is a team composed of government and contractor agencies that provide enterprise support in the key tenets of net-centric operations to U.S. Department of Defense chemical and biological programs.

Policy affects technology research, development, test, evaluation, transition and refresh. Specific network-related technology areas support military command, control, and communications (C3). Some of these technologies are described with a view toward assessing the status of policy in specific areas. The relationship between policy and network technology is explored with questions such as, “What is policy doing for technology and vice versa?” and “How should we set policy priorities?” Network policy can be divided into at least two categories. The first is policy that governs acquisition and life cycle support, such as research, development, test, evaluation, fielding, funding, and upgrading existing network technology. The other category of network policy pertains to how networks are used, user requir...

This fact has been highlighted by the emergence of several collaboration systems and tool suites used among various communities within the DoD. Some of the collaboration products available today include the Defense Collaboration Tool Suite (DCTS), InfoWorkSpace (IWS), and Groove. Over the last five to ten years, the authors at one Navy laboratory have had the opportunity to work together, either independently or in small 2 to 3-person teams, on various stages of the research process for several Navy, Marine Corps, and Joint projects exploring collaboration. These projects often conducted experiments on problem sets framed in a variety of Command and Control scenarios with real warfighters using different collaboration systems and tool suites. From the authors experiences they have discerned several re-occurring themes (suitable for lessons learned) that have evolved a practi...

The system may be secured to or contained within a wearable glove. The flux-producing element may be coupled to an object separate from the wearable glove. The Hall-effect sensor transmits a Hall-effect sensor signal to the controller when the Hall-effect sensor is perpendicular to at least some of the plurality of magnetic flux lines. The Hall-effect sensor signal may include data received from the flux-producing element. The controller transmits a controller signal to the transceiver after receiving the Hall-effect sensor signal. The controller signal may include input from a motion sensor and/or an orientation sensor connected to the controller. The transceiver may transmit the signal to a remote processor. The signal may be used for gesture recognition, information coding, and/or information ...

The language structure, syntax, and semantics of Mayan languages are rich and varied. This paper describes how to apply some principles of the Maya Hieroglyphic language to interactive command-and-control displays in decision-support system. It also suggests some preliminary elements of a tactical-assessment language where message components, including input transmitted from hand gestures, can be expressed as icons and integrated into tactical chat for situation-assessment reports. A large part of the Mayan language is expressed in terms of facial glyphs; faces are part of any human experience, regardless of culture. This suggests that a relationship between facial depictions and fine structure in glyphs and affixes may be easier for users to remember than a randomly or even a sequentially ordered array of glyphs and affixes. The paper concludes with directions for future research.

Typing on a keyboard is difficult and impractical while wearing comprehensive protective clothing. Wireless data gloves were researched and developed to transmit and receive ASCII code and other signals as hand gestures. Two categories of glove prototypes were constructed: gloves with and without a haptic-IO capability.
