The Pentagon intends to actively use the architecture of open systems for electronic warfare

Undersecretary of the US Army Gabe Camarillo said he was very impressed with the military's implementation of the C5ISR modular set of standards. This platform will allow American soldiers to connect modules to enhance networking capabilities and expand electronic warfare functions.

According to Breaking Defense magazine, a US military official spoke about this at a meeting this week on the means of technical data exchange used by the US army.

Camarillo said that today the United States Army is facing a number of problems regarding the need to increase the capabilities of electronic warfare. The deputy minister said that the Pentagon intends to actively use the architecture of open systems for electronic warfare, as it is able to unlock "limitless potential" for solving the problems facing the military.

He presented to journalists his thoughts on accelerating the implementation of these opportunities in practice. Camarillo said the army needs to develop software designed to identify and eliminate all electronic warfare threats that the military may face on the battlefield. He also noted the importance of using a modular approach when introducing new solutions.

The issue of developing and creating open systems for military electronics has been raised at the Pentagon before. A memorandum relating to this issue was signed by representatives of the Navy, Air Force and US Army at the beginning of 2019.

Author of the article, who are you talking to now?

In general, nothing is clear.
A very narrow specialist wants to tell something to the same specialists, or is it the peculiarities of translation

Open system (systems theory)
An open system in systems theory is a system that continuously interacts with its environment. Interaction can take the form of information, energy or material transformations at the boundary with the system. An open system is opposed to an isolated one, which does not exchange energy, matter or information with the environment. The concept of an open system was formalized [by whom?], which made it possible to interconnect the theory of organisms, thermodynamics and evolutionary theory.

. That is, whoever wants to get in and do what they like! So what?

In systems, this term has a slightly different meaning. Possibility to connect something else. Not any and only according to the described rules. For example, a third-party developer can create something based on a given protocol and certify their device from the manufacturer. Then it can be connected to the system.

Interesting. Does anyone here understand what we are talking about?

[Military77]

Approximately))) As I understand it, there is a certain system with a documented set of methods (functions) and properties (variables) that participate in data exchange. Openness lies in the fact that this system can be supplemented with new methods and properties. Well, something like this.

And there’s nothing to understand there, just the Deputy Minister of Defense, a lawyer by education, who previously worked in the Ministry of Procurement, showed off at some meeting of managers, sharing his enthusiasm and expectations about the use of Linux on military computers, as more resistant to cyber hacking

Uff! Thank you for translating into Russian and helping to understand what is written here! (:

The American politician said something, on the basis of this they made an indistinct press release, it was incorrectly translated into Russian, and on the basis of this, an anonymous author wrote a note without understanding anything. At least look on the internet.
Briefly you can find
C5ISR (Command and Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber ​​Defense, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) is one of a series of standards that define the composition and functioning of the Automated Force and Armament Control Systems. The main components of the system are servers running Linux, data storage systems, specialized software, communication equipment for communication with moving objects and personnel, and some sensors. The standard describes the requirements for hardware, software, and hardware interfaces to enable collaboration. It is not clear what they meant about electronic warfare. open system - the possibility of developing and connecting new components to the system.

C5ISR expands on the term "C4ISR" and is the basis for the term "C6ISR". C4ISR does not include "cyber" as C5ISR does, while C6ISR adds to the list "combat".

What is the C5ISR System?
To provide command and control, fighters require equipment that allows them to achieve maximum situational awareness. It means that commanders and their personnel must have reliable and secure access to communications and any form of intelligence that can help them in their mission.

The purpose of the technology is "to provide information superiority and decisive lethality to networked soldier." From radios, workstations and smartphones to night vision and electronic sensors, the combination of these solutions makes up the C5ISR system.

That is, the meaning of what the miracle author did not understand is the creation of cellular (in the sense of like a honeycomb in a beehive) communication systems reliably protected from electronic warfare. Imagine a grid of honeycombs, even if you block the connection in one place, then it will reach the roundabout. And communication is not only to talk or give an order, this is all now in command and control. When the commander of the army can see what the tanker sees in the scope ...
