Abstract. It is not uncommon for software components of an application
to reside on a number of diverse computers and operating
systems. The Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) is a
middleware technology that simplifies or helps in the construction of
such an application by providing standardised mechanisms that distributed components
can use to communicate over a network. Applying CORBA to
C4I problems in the military environment can provide simple integration
of legacy software and COTS software, thereby fulfilling the operational
requirements of modern battlefield interoperability. This paper discusses the mechanisms
of CORBA in supporting distributed applications, and investigates the communications
performance issues of CORBA in the military tactical environment. Although
the potential of CORBA is wide and varied, supporting CORBA
may become a burden to the tactical communications infrastructure without
careful management of access to remote objects.
