What are Combat Management Systems?

====

The Philippine Navy Frigate Acquisition Project, specifically Supplemental Bid Bulletin #DND/PN-FAP-16-01, described the PN's preferred CMS as follows:

Various industry definitions below.

From: http://www.spsnavalforces.com/story/?id=333

Naval Combat Management System is a software-intensive system which has to be flexible enough to operate in a complex naval battle environment

A Naval Combat Management System (NCMS) has to perform the following key functions:

Situational Awareness. To be aware of the battle environment at sea which includes surface, subsurface and air. This is collected through sensors like radars, electro–optical systems and sonar.

Intelligence. Convert the above information into actionable intelligence by interpretation, collation, evaluation thereby producing a common operational picture.

Planning and decision-making. This step helps the commanders to rapidly make an actionable plan for decision-making and implementation, in a rapidly changing complex battle environment.

Weapon systems command and control. An effective NCMS will also direct weapon sensors and weapons to engage and destroy incoming threat.

The above functions are carried by the NCMS through the crew, sensors and weapon systems. The whole system could be part of the network-centric warfare (NCW) where each system becomes a separate node with similar nodes on other vessels. NCW concept is more autonomous than hierarchical.

"Designed to assure “knowledge superiority” over potential enemies, shorten decision-making cycles and execute rapid and accurate weapon engagement in the task force . . ."

From: http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/incheon-class-ffx-frigates-south-korea/


"The combat system integrates the onboard sensors, weapons and fire control systems.

It performs target detection, tracking, threat assessment and weapon control functions simultaneously for conducting efficient combat operations in various engagement scenarios."

From: https://www.thalesgroup.com/en/worldwide/defence/naval-forces/above-water-warfare/combat-management-systems

". . . It provides seamless near realtime sharing of the Common Operating Picture (contact data, messages, and geo-referenced map overlays) between vessels, helicopters, and shore installations."

A long time ago, they were known as Action Information Systems (AIS)

Here is a more up to date version and description of a modern one.

Nice one Mr. L. Thanks.

We're going to need a lot more of this kind of background information very soon.

Interesting read

Early developments and transformation:

Royal Navy: Action Information Organization --> Action Data Automation

US Navy: Naval Tactical Data System --> AEGIS

Quote
For the US Navy the Cold War requirement to match the Soviet threat called for adequate communications. This drove development in satellite communications, but it also drove secure ship to ship communications. Without ‘total spectrum dominance’ made possible by the Revolution in Military Affairs’ in the mid-1980s, the US would not be able to effectively operate a world-wide military and naval force.

The move from low data rate HF(long range communication) to satellite SHF in the 90s provided the data rates that could support much more effective shore support of picture compilation with a mixture of current and time late intelligence. So by the turn of the century ships had moved from autonomy to being part of potentially global systems including ships, aircraft and shore HQs. The availability of powerful commercial computers enabled the navy to move away from very expensive development-heavy dedicated ship class CMS to more generic open architecture systems capable of spiral development which is much more responsive and affordable. With interconnected and open systems comes the cyber challenge, which has to some extent been managed by still having a man in the loop. That option is diminishing to man on the loop (with a veto rather than as a participant) and will be exacerbated as more unmanned surveillance and weapon systems are deployed.
