17
Q

C2 heiracrchy labeling

A
18
Q

What are three types of data?

A

Inorganic
Organic
Intelligence

19
Q

What is inorganic data?

A

Shared from another platform

Eg. Link, Sonobuoy, Helo

20
Q

What is Organic data?

A

Data gathered by own sensors

21
Q

What is intelligence data and what is the difference from Inorganic data?

A

Pre-cognition, telling us what is going to happen rather than what is currently happening.

22
Q

What is Real Time Processing?

A

Information is updated so fast it is essentially real time.

Processing requirements have consequences if they are not met.

It is a spectrum between real and non real time processing.

23
Q

What is Data Correlation?

A

A measure of the association between two variables.

Used to determine if two systems are detecting the same contact, then selecting the best sensor.

AKA Local Fusion

24
Q

What is Data Fusion?

A

Combines the best sensor inputs from multiple sensors to create a sinlge output with less uncertainty in the overall track.

25
Q

How does CMS assign trackers during Local Fusion (Data Correlation)?

A

Assigning best sensor.

CEROS is the best sensor.

26
Q

What is an example of Reliability in CMS?

A

Redundant cabinets
Raid 5
Redundant Servers

27
Q

What is an example of Survivability in CMS?

A

Physical protection by cabinets (shock mounted, dust proof, temperature controlled)

28
Q

What is an example of Security with CMS?

A

User roles

Security clearance for access to spaces

29
Q

What is an example of Timeliness with CMS?

A

Real Time Processing

30
Q

What is an example of Flexibility with CMS?

A

Modes of Operation
COTS Components

31
Q

What is an example of Interoperability with CMS?

A

Link, Isolated Network Display, I/O Processors
