Abstract
The transformation to net-centric operations necessitates evaluation of existing avionics capabilities, identification of deficiencies of these avionics for net-centric operations, and evaluation of alternative avionics that can provide the needed capabilities. The global information grid (GIG) enables net-centric operations. The purpose of the GIG is to provide end users real-time or near-real-time access to multiple information sources ranging from airborne/satellite/ground sensors (video imagery and processed visual information/data) to databases. The end users in an aircraft view and interact with this information through the human system interface (HSI) or "smart" displays. The information is transmitted across a gigabit Ethernet onboard the aircraft that interfaces with multiple channels of a software programmable radio that acts as a hub in the GIG network, or onboard sensors and processors. This work presents the mandated capabilities, and the processes involved in determination of upgrades needed to achieve net-centric operations.
