Abstract. One of the main efforts in the process of the
digitization of the battlefield is to build up an integrated
information system. The following article describes the approach of the
German Army to integrate the Command, Control and Information System,
the Battlefield Management System and the developing Command and Fire
Control Systems to form an Army Integrated Information System. The
Army Integrated Information System is then described as a highly
complex integrated system of command and control means comprising information
processing means and systems on the one hand and information
transmission means and systems on the other. An assessment is
then made of the contribution of the integrated system to
the individual phases of the command and control process. Within
this integrated system, the interchange of information and the impact
on the command and control process are discussed and some
aspects are indicated for further examination with respect to information
management. Attention then focuses on the relationship between the Army
Integrated Information System and the Composite Reconnaissance System. Finally, some
comments are provided on the further development of the Army
Integrated Information System and thus of the Army integrated system
of command and control means.
