These nations need to go through a modernization process of their Air Defence capabilities, in times where financial limitations make it difficult for a single nation to acquire such capabilities on their own. The NATO C3 Agency is highly engaged with the nations of South East Europe in supporting their C4ISR transformation efforts, and possesses all skills, capabilities, and tools to design, procure and implement a regional, multi-national air defence capability, with truly joint situational awareness and integration of na­tional sensors and Missile Defence systems.

A small interdisciplinary team in six months has designed the essential operational views of the architecture of a complex system that provides for maritime sovereignty operations and control of sea traffic. Main challenges, such as lack of development standards, adequate procedures, and doctrinal documents, are briefly described. The approach may be used by NATO and partner countries that envision joint development and acquisition of C2 and surveillance systems.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stoyan Avramov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Integrating COTS Technologies into a Scalable Mobile  Emergency Command Post</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C4ISR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">drill</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">emergency management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">exercise</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">field command and control</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">information assurance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information Security</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">operational</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">system</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">technical architecture</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2003</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">87-96</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The article describes an ongoing effort in developing and demonstrating the capabilities of commercial-off-the-shelf technologies, integrated to provide cost-effective on-site command and control of various emergencies. The author briefly presents major operational, system, and technical architecture issues, as well as the approach chosen to deal with the problem of information assurance. The proposed C2 architecture may be easily scaled to better fit requirements of a particular customer. It has been tested in laboratory environment and highly acclaimed at technical exhibitions. The concept will be further tested during an international disaster relief exercise, to be conducted in the summer of 2003 in Bulgaria under the coordination of the State Agency for Civil Protection of the Republic of Bulgaria.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Daniel Wiener II</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">John Courtien</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulgarian Information Network:  Command Information Infrastructure for the Future</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C4ISR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">crisis management.</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defense Information infrastructure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">information assurance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mobile combat radio network</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mobile IP network</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55-68</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The authors present a vision for the Bulgarian Information Network (BIN) that is globally interconnected, end-to-end set of information capabilities, associated processes, and personnel for collecting, processing, storing, disseminating and managing information on demand to Government, warfighters, law enforcement, policy makers, and support personnel. The BIN includes all owned and leased communications and computing systems and services, software (including applications), data, security services and other associated services necessary to support mobile, Government information operations. The BIN connects the Government personnel to capabilities from all operating locations (bases, posts, camps, stations, facilities, mobile platforms, and deployed sites) and provides interfaces to coalition, allied and coalition users and systems. BIN serves as backbone of the C4ISR defensive, crisis management and law enforcement operations.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Velizar Shalamanov</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C4ISR in Modernizing Security Sector in Bulgaria  and South-Eastern Europe</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C4ISR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">defense reform</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">force modernization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">organizational change</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">security sector reform</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2001</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7-22</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In an environment of technological revolution, C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) systems are given priority in force modernization. On the other side, the modernization of C4ISR, especially when implemented in interagency and international cooperation, may be an important facilitator for the overall defense and security sector reform. The focus of this article is on definition of the priority programs, model of life cycle support of C4ISR systems and its organizational dimension. We propose one possible strategy for C4ISR development in Bulgaria and South-East Europe. Organizational issues and initiatives, such as the establishment of C4 Regional Coordination Group are also debated.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
