  1. Commodity Architectures and Army Research Challenges Workshop on Edge Computing Using New Commodity Architectures (EDGE) 24 May 2006 J. Michael Coyle Program Manager, Discrete Math. & Computer Science Mathematical Sciences Division Mathematical and Information Sciences Directorate U.S. Army Research Office

  2. Army Research Office The U.S. Army Research Office (ARO) mission is to seed scientific and far reaching technological discoveries that enhance Army capabilities. Basic research proposals from educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private industry are competitively selected and funded. ARO's research mission represents the most long-range Army view for changes in its technology and is the only Army organization that transcends all of its mission areas.

  3. Full Spectrum of Army Missions Environmental Complexity Responsive Deployable Agile Versatile Lethal Survivable Sustainable Urban Open rolling terrain High Low Stability and Support Operations Small Scale Contingencies Major Theater War Spectrum of Conflict Capabilities for an Uncertain Future: Current and future armies have a wider range of problems to solve

  4. What Drives Army Research?The Army Vision “Heavy forces must be more strategically deployableand more agile with a smaller logistical footprint, and light forces must be more lethal, survivableand tactically mobile. Achieving this paradigm will require innovative thinking about structure, modernization efforts and spending.” CSA, 23 June 1999 “The S&T community is the key to the long term transformation of the Army” - - CSA’s HASC testimony

  5. The Army Transformation . . . Responsive, Deployable, Agile, Versatile, Lethal, Survivable, Sustainable.

  6. Science & Technology Objective Force Operational Challenge - Moving the Full Spectrum Force • Up to: • 70% Lighter • 50% Smaller C130 C17/C5 • Technology Challenges • Survivability • Lethality • C4I • Supportability • Human Factors • Mobility • Training Lighten the force, not just lighten the platform

  7. S&T Focus for Objective Force Future Characteristics • Comprehensive Situational Awareness • Networked Fires - Extended range lethality • Survive first engagement • Manned/Unmanned Integration • C-130-like Transportable • Reduced Logistics Force Transformation C4ISR Lethality Organic & inorganic RSTA Survivability Indirect Fire Function* Mobility Networked Comms Integration System of Systems Robotics Sensor Function* Direct Fire Function * Human Engineering * Manned or unmanned Infantry Carrier Function

  8. Observe & Communicate Other Layered Sensors Shoot Small Unit UAV Network Centric Force Robotic Sensor Move Distributed Fire Mechanisms Robotic Direct Fire Robotic NLOS Fire Manned C2/Infantry Squad Network Centric Distributed Platforms (EDGE Opportunity?) To This... From This... Exploit Battlefield Non-Linearities using Technology to Reduce the Size of Platforms and the Force

  9. SUMMARY Objective Force Requirements Technology Challenges • Responsive • Deployable • Agile • Versatile • Lethal • Survivable • Sustainable • Survivability • Lethality • C4I • Supportability • Human Factors • Mobility • Training EDGE Contributions ?
