Abstract :
The motivations, architecture, and development of a modernization of information handling in combat information centers aboard US Coast Guard cutters are described. The mission requirements are specialized for Coast Guard applications, but the system is being fabricated from general-purpose industrial and defense components. The discussion covers the organizational environment, the communication subsystem, distributed computing, software flexibility, application software, and the use of open standards
