In preparation for the Force XXI (FXXI) Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE), the U.S. Army Experimental Force (EXFOR) (4th Infantry Division), located at Fort Hood, Texas, has been provided a unique synthetic training environment for training units in the use of command and control systems and use of the Tactical Internet. The training environment uses a combination of legacy Simulation Network (SIMNET) devices along with state of the art simulations. Together these systems have provided the EXFOR with the capability to train personnel at various levels. Training scenarios specifically for a digitized force were developed to support the SIMNET-Applique training environment. The training scenarios varied from Platoon to Company level. At least fourteen M1 tank and four M2 Bradley simulators are available for training. Each of these simulators has been modified with Applique hardware/software as well as radio models Single channel Ground and Airborne Radio System - Systems Improvement Program (SINCGARS-SIP) and Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS) and position/navigation aids to provide a realistic simulation of the Command, Control, and Communications (C3) capabilities these vehicles will have in the Task Force XXI (TFXXI) AWE. Surrogate nodes consisting of "table-top" Applique' systems provide additional key nodes as required.

This book explores Australia's prospective cyber-warfare requirements and challenges. It describes the current state of planning and thinking within the Australian Defence Force with respect to Network Centric Warfare, and discusses the vulnerabilities that accompany the use by Defence of the National Information Infrastructure (NII), as well as Defence's responsibility for the protection of the NII. It notes the multitude of agencies concerned in various ways with information security, and argues that mechanisms are required to enhance coordination between them. It also argues that Australia has been laggard with respect to the development of offensive cyber-warfare plans and capabilities. Finally, it proposes the establishment of an Australian Cyber-warfare Centre responsible for the planning and conduct of both the defensive and offensive dimensions of cyber-warfare, for developing doctrine and operational concepts, and for identifying new capability requirements. It argues that the matter is urgent in order to ensure that Australia will have the necessary capabilities for conducting technically and strategically sophisticated cyber-warfare activities by the 2020s. The Foreword has been contributed by Professor Kim C. Beazley, former Minister for Defence (1984--90), who describes it as 'a timely book which transcends old debates on priorities for the defence of Australia or forward commitments, (and) debates about globalism and regionalism', and as 'an invaluable compendium' to the current process of refining the strategic guidance for Australia's future defence policies and capabilities.
