By now, you know the kill web is a dynamic networked "system of systems," that can act (offensively or defensively) at the speed of computers against our enemy's tactics and strategies on the battlefield. Decisions involving many variables must be made in milliseconds or microseconds. The human mind cannot possibly handle all the data from the intelligence sources and sensors, assimilate that data, and make critical decisions in those timeframes. So let’s consider some examples, to expose the complications and contradictions in the kill web.

The proliferation of video sources on-board today’s tactical ground vehicles has resulted in the need for modern video equipment to ensure the video’s usability and availability. Choosing the right video system components that will keep system cost and footprint down in an already space constrained environment – while also reducing program risk and time to market. While the obstacles can be daunting, choosing the right solution can reduce risk, time to market, and program cost while increasing the probability of mission success. This white paper analyzes these challenges and proposes a winning solution.
