Abstract

Army's Network Centric Warfare strategy aims to bolster Information Dominance capabilities, utilizing Command and Control (C2) systems like the Army Battle Command Systems (ABCS), stayed on advancing knowledges for example networking, communications, and positioning. Maintaining current Situation Awareness (SA) information is vital for successful C2 systems, requiring incessant and opportune location data from pertinent stages in the battlefield. The accuracy and obtainability of this location evidence straight impact active efficiency. Traditionally, positioning served the purpose of "own ship" pilotage, answering the question of navigating from Point A to Point B. However, the part of placement as a communal reserve is evolving, increasing the status of location evidence quality and availability. The primary source of this position data is the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System (GPS), offering a consistent coordinate reference with accuracy unaffected by time or distance traveled, and with lower integration costs compared to alternatives like Inertial Navigation Units (INU) or Doppler Radar Navigation Sets. It's crucial to note that GPS is susceptible to Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) and signal blockage in Urban and Compound Terrain. Technological initiatives are focused on exploring advanced integration techniques that combine externally aided and self-contained navigation systems.
