Object-oriented implementation of an infrastructure and data manager for real-time command and control systems

MITRE's Evolvable Real-Time C3 (command, control, and communications) project attempts to develop an approach that would enable current real-time systems to evolve into the systems of the future. The project has chosen AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) as an example to test out the concepts and architectures to be developed. In this paper, we describe an object-oriented implementation of an infrastructure and data manager for next-generation real-time command-and-control systems.
