Future Wars Play Out at Center






  By Andrew Webb
Copyright ? 2004 Albuquerque Journal;
Journal Staff Writer

    
A new 16,000-square-foot war games center will put Honeywell's Albuquerque
complex at the leading edge as the U.S. Army trades heavy armor for
high-tech battle systems.
    
That strategy goes on display today when the defense giant opens its
Simulation and Modeling for Acquisition, Requirements and Training facility,
or SMARTlab, for development and testing of fully networked battlefield
systems.
    
The multimillion-dollar center will house several project areas for
Honeywell's existing $240 million worth of military contracts under the
Army's rapidly evolving Future Combat Systems initiative, as well as provide
space for its defense customers, such as the Department of Homeland
Security, to test and train users.
    
It includes a virtual-reality lab, war game capabilities and advanced
battle software for the development of the networked war fighters of the
future.
    
"This is the beginning of a new era," said Ed Goosen, a Honeywell vice
president, of the Army's Future Combat Systems initiative, which is expected
to be deployed starting in 2010.
    
Rather than traditional systems in which soldiers go into battle with
little grasp of what lies ahead and armed for anything, the initiative aims
to use elaborate networks of sensors and cameras, some deployed on unmanned
aerial and surface vehicles, to provide advance awareness and allow precise
planning.
    
That information will then be transmitted to fighters on the ground over
mobile networks to aid in accurate planning, aiming and maneuvering.
    
The U.S. Army expects such systems will eventually allow for replacement of
today's combat vehicles with faster, lighter military tanks and personnel
carriers that trade bulky armor for better information. Even foot soldiers
will have wearable computers.
    
Instead of building tanks that are just faster and tougher than those of
adversaries, Goosen said, the Army wants to match the threat by knowing
better what the threat is.
    
That becomes more important, he says, because terrorist tactics differ from
traditional rules of engagement.
    
"Technology has developed to the point where information is very powerful,"
he said. "If we see it first, we understand it first. We're not going to
inadvertently stumble into an enemy."
    
Among Honeywell's existing contracts under the Future Combat Systems
initiative is one for an unmanned, 13-inch-wide unmanned aerial vehicle,
held aloft by a small helicopter-like blade, that contains cameras and
sensors. The remotely controlled device can hover over battlefields and give
real-time, bird's-eye views of oncoming threats.
    
Honeywell expects to begin delivering on the $40 million contract next
year.
    
Another contract is to retrofit World War II-era artillery systems with
computerized aiming systems that can respond to remotely gathered
information, reducing preparation time from more than eight minutes to one
minute.
    
The firm last year added 100 employees under those contracts, bringing to
1,200 the number employed at the Honeywell site on San Mateo, north of
Alameda.
    
Honeywell's SMARTlab, located within the San Mateo facility, will give
military units a means by which to integrate all that equipment.
    
"The challenge is how to create an architecture that can handle all this
information so that just the right amount is available at the right time,"
Goosen said. "Test centers in the past used to try to build the best plane,
the best tank. Now it's the best network."
    
A visualization lab with 3-D video systems will allow developers to design
and experiment with concepts for vehicles and other devices before a
prototype is even built.
    
"These types of systems are expensive to build, test and fix," said Derick
Gerlock, SMARTlab program manager. "That's why we made the leap to a virtual
environment."
    
The SMARTlab is one of a few of its kind, Gerlock said.
    
"We're at the forefront of (Future Combat Systems)," he said.
    
SMARTlab, which was carved out of existing storage space at the Northeast
Heights site, currently employs about 7, Gerlock said. That number will
fluctuate as the military ramps up the overall program, which is expected to
cost more than $100 billion.
    
Newer, lighter vehicles are expected to be developed in about 2014, Goosen
said, but the military meanwhile aims to accelerate plans to retrofit older
vehicles with networked communications systems.
    
"We need that capability now," he said.
    
Honeywell developed expertise managing complex logistics problems by
developing technology that helps airlines schedule aircraft maintenance
based on the status of aircraft, its location and the availability of
maintenance resources throughout the airline's system.
    
The Morris Township, N.J.-based firm employs 100,000 people worldwide, and
develops aerospace products and services; control technologies for
buildings, homes and industry; automotive products; power generation
systems; and specialized materials.

Subject: [SOCNET] Symposium & Exhibition on Networks - "Language of
Networks"

***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.sfu.ca/~insna/ *****

Group (forwarded from some listserv or other:

A network analysis event ("Language of Networks")
taking place in Linz / Austria from 09/01 - 09/07. In conjunction with this
year?s Ars Electronica Festival people from our Socnet community together
with artists, computer scientists, educators and policy makers will spend
two days discussing a plethora of topics ranging from networks and power to
information visualization.

The whole program with nice network illustrations you can download at:

<http://www.fas.at/news/_downloads/Language_of_Networks_program.pdf>
http://www.fas.at/news/_downloads/Language_of_Networks_program.pdf

Accompanying the symposium, an exhibition will present network
visualizations in two-dimensional and three-dimensional space. Spectacular
visualizations from the realms of business, medicine, society, sport, art
and culture will be shown.

One of the highlights will be the largest network ever visualized a 5 x 3
meter work by Vlado Batagelj.

Ulrik Brandes has done a 3-D visualization which will be presented on a XXL
media wall on the top of the Ars Electronica building. As far as I know this
is the first network graph ever shown in the public space.

The introductory lecture will be held by Lothar Krempel who also curated the
exhibition. The evening lecture will be done by Jeff Johnson.

Language of Networks is being produced jointly by FAS.research and Ars
Electronica. With scientific support from the Max Planck Institute for the
Study of Societies, Cologne (Lothar Krempel) and the Department of Commerce,
Trade and Marketing of the Johannes Kepler University, Linz (Gerhard W?hrer)

Sponsors:
* Austrian Federal Ministry for Transportation, Innovation and Technology,
* Austrian Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labor
* "Innovatives ?sterreich", a initiative from Austrian Federal Ministry for
Education, Science and Culture;

Best and enjoy!

Nice article. And, Emergence is a good popular science book to a gentle
introduction to some of the complexity concepts.

Steven Johnson's classification of self-organizing systems into "clustering"
and "coping" may be similar to the distinction some people try to make
between complex systems and complex adaptive systems.

The last section on acting local with political systems is interesting and
may be worth some additional thought on how it may apply to Santa Fe.

I assumed that Randy either copied the web-page into his email or
used one of those "Email this page to your friend" links. Thus, his
email to the listserv contained a mime attachment full of html (that
may, based on the mime control line that leaked through have been
declared plain text). Either the listserv does not like html and
changed the mime type to text or the mime information from Randy's mail
client was broken (the mail client header seems to have been stripped
but Outlook sometimes uses broken MIME) and the listserv tried to fix
it. Eventually, the html came to us as a text attachment and our mail
clients displayed it as text - full of html tags.

Since I always read email as text in a non-Microsoft client, I'm so
used to seeing this it didn't even come up on my radar. I usually laugh
when someone (usually a PHB) sends me an email with OLE objects.
