Abstract :
The author develops this paper to initiate actions through the concept based requirements system (CBRS) which are intended to lead to the ultimate fielding of a critically needed capability for signal support of Airland Operations concepts. It is based on considerations of ongoing basic research and development as well as technological developments and forecasts in a number of disciplines that, judiciously guided, managed, and funded, can culminate in a cost effective and timely resolution of specific Airland Operations signal support deficiencies. This applies equally to follow-on concepts. In addition to signal support utilization, this technology initiative points out important applications to other Army and sister service functional areas
