Abstract :
The combination of command, control, communications, computers and intelligence is known in the military as C4I. The naval C4I initiative is defining a future architecture that is based on information management with one objective in mind: to bring naval C4I to the next level of integration and interoperability in the joint war fighting arena for the advantages it brings to the warrior. We discuss the path we are taking to a more integrated C4I (IC4I) system. We also discuss what we have done to both define and bound the naval C4I universe; where we are on the path to the IC4I system; the challenges we face on our way; and how we intend to surmount them
