Abstract
Defense (DoD) combat systems are inherently network-centric, distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems of systems. Combat systems have historically been developed via multiple technology bases, where each system brings its own networks, computers, displays, software, and people to maintain and operate it. Unfortunately, not only are these stovepipe architectures proprietary, but by tightly coupling many functional and quality of service (QoS) aspects they impede these DRE system features: • Assurability is needed to guarantee efficient, predictable, scalable, and dependable QoS from sensors to shooters. • Adaptability is needed to (re)configure combat systems dynamically to support varying workloads or missions over their life cycles.
