From HPCC Defense Applications IDA Presentation -- October 31,1994. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

The Communications System used in International Wartime Command and Control will be the commercial Global Information Infrastructure(GII) augmented by
  • Location(Theater) and DoD specific physical network extensions to take GII from commercial drop-off point to battlefields.
  • Necessary Security and Priority services on the commercial networks to ensure appropriate "quality of service" for use by DoD in battle-critical situations
Clearly Global Grid is essential and Critical Underlying Concept for Dual-Use Command and Control which needs major attention by DoD
An Anecdote: Similar cost arguments says that communities should not develop the NII separately for Public(Government) Information, Health Care and Education
  • We only want one NII with Multi-Use applications and technologies
