The computer hardware, software applications and network infrastructure are examined within this context to illustrate the difficulty that lower level tactical units face in receiving, processing and redistributing information in an automated environment. The thesis describes some of the systemic reasons, not readily apparent to higher level operational units, as to why lower level tactical units struggle to keep pace with all of the information they received. Platform-centric, stovepipe approaches have caused significant challenges for managing the flow of information to and from the tactical unit level. In addition, the pushdown approach to information distribution does not adequately address how the terminal level units in the distribution process receive and synthesize information from multiple sources.Read More
