Use of High-Performance Workstations in Military Communications and ADP/Network Experiments

Advances in high-performance computer workstation technology make it possible to merge traditionally distinct communications and automatic data processing functions into an integrated terminal device. The ADDCOMPE program has used these state-of-the-art, high-performance workstations to support distributed command, control, and communication (C3) in an active Army Testbed. These workstations are internetworked to provide a distributed processing and communications environment that forms the foundation for enduring survivable C3 concepts; and, at the same time, are used to test experimental concepts in advanced military automatic data processing and network communications.
