Abstract :
Historically, the Naval Oceanographic Office has employed numerous generations of Information Technology (IT) to satisfy its missions and has a history of application of IT from legacy mainframes to deployed mini-computers, networked enterprises, and clusters of super-computers. This paper traces the historical development of the Information Technology enterprise and architecture. Emphasis will be placed on the current application of standards-based architectures, including the Department of Defense (DoD) Command, Control, Computers, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Architecture Framework
