The Case for Consolidating Tactical and Operational Systems
This research paper examines the background of the major warfighting applications such as the Joint Automated Deep Operations Coordination System (JADOCS), Portable Flight Planning System (PFPS), Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) and Command and Control Personal computer (C2PC) used by the Army and other services. It demonstrates how these applications are duplicated in functionality, and how they are unnecessarily divided between tactical and operational systems. By showing how the various applications use the same maps, drawing functions, three-dimensional viewing functions, and common operational picture display functions, the author illustrates the logical necessity for change and proposes a single application to resolve these issues.
The author reviews why it is not necessary to divide the systems along tactical and operational lines by showing that there are no differences between how the systems are used, just that they are used at different scales. He then explains how this application can be developed in an incremental and spiraling manner, demonstrating the functionality it would provide. He goes on to explain the benefits of common systems and training, and how this would facilitate joint operations.
As the Army transforms to the Modular Force, it is not enough simply to restructure units and field new systems. It is crucial that operational tools and procedures be streamlined as well, and this paper offers one possibility for change that could prove effective on many levels and for a variety of reasons.

Mixing Manned and Unmanned Aircraft in a Forward Arming Refueling Point
This short presentation was drafted as part of a quick look for a simulation that was planned a few years ago. The question came up if it would ever be possible to mixed manned and unmanned aircraft in a FARP. Almost everyone thought that it could not be done safely in a timeframe that would warrant its inclusion in the simulation. So this was quickly drafted to show that it was a reasonable assumption. Afterwards it was submitted and accepted as a poster presentation at the AUVSI National Convention in 2007.
