Abstract. Messaging is an accepted mechanism to implement data dissemination between
tactical C3I applications. Certified Message Delivery (CMD) ensures in addition
to the ensured delivery of a message by a robust
messaging engine, the successful consumption of the message by the
recipient application. It also ensures that the status acknowledgement is
made available to the sender application for monitoring of data
dissemination and er-propagation of messages that failed consumption. There are
various ways in which Certified Message Delivery can be implemented.
This paper discusses a robust and reliable implementation of CMD
in tactical C3I applications in which messaging has been adopted
as a mechanism for data dissemination. The implementation is asynchronous,
with no blocking at the sender’s end. It is based
on a network configuration in which there is an application
server and database server in the local area network (LAN)
of every formation/unit headquarters (HQ), and the LANs of the
formation/unit HQs are connected to each other via a wide
area network (WAN). Clients existing at every HQ, access the
local application server, which in turn accesses the local database
server, and there is a messaging server, which is a
service that takes care of dissemination of data.
