Foil 21 Dual-Use Command and Control HPCC Applications and Why is Global Grid Concept Essential

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

Command and Control (C2 , C4I, BMC3IS ) is largest HPCC Opportunity in DoD
It is Dual-Use to the NII and Large Scale Database Decision Support Applications which will dominate the civilian use of HPCC
This Dual-Use approach to Command and Control demands the Global Grid Concept at the low (hardware) level
There will not be a separate DII (Defense Information Infrastructure) just as there is not a separate Interstate Highway System for DoD Vehicles
Even if you built the DII, the commercial GII will always have much higher bandwidth and so one would want to use it
