The Air Force’s Office of Scientific Research is cooperating with Binghamton University on a research project that investigators expect to enhance the “availability and resilience” of command and control networks—ensuring “an operator’s continuous access to battlefield information,” according to Binghamton professor Eva Wu. Wu is leading the New York university team that will receive approximately $100,000 for the two-year project titled “Highly Available C2 Supporting Systems for Air Operation.”
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
