Abstract:

The SDI battle management system is responsible for such important tasks as coordinating sensors and weapons, providing communications between various SDI components, and providing the means for human commanders to manage the overall SDI system. Any shortcomings in battle management ultimately would have an impact on the ability of the overall SDI system to protect the nation against ballistic missile attack.
