Abstract :
The author proposes a 21st century command control and communications computer network that connects components of the three major United States Air Force operational commands: the Strategic Air Command (SAC), Military Aircraft Command (MAC), and Tactical Air Command (TAC). The proposed scheme fully connects computers at bases of the three major commands to form the super military network (SUPMILNET). On demand, the topology can be partitioned into totally dedicated separate and independent subnetworks named SACNET, MACNET, and TACNET
