Connection between command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) technologies is vital to mission success. Right now, however, joining different systems works like attaching puzzle pieces from completely different boxes. Government and military organizations have developed ways to connect systems that were not built to connect, and it’s costing them.
One answer to this problem is Enterprise Integration, an approach to C4ISR tech coined by Booz Allen Hamilton, in which components are designed as parts of an enterprise-minded system from the very beginning. Central to this concept is breaking down organizational boundaries in order to consider every system’s role within a larger C4ISR system.
Three important but distinct areas within defense organizations — engineering, operations and acquisition — must unite in order to achieve Enterprise Integration.thhank you.
