Summary | USMC doctrine embodies the concept of combined arms: the integration of air and ground combat capability to achieve maximum effect on the battlefield. The expeditionary nature of the USMC requires tight integration of its combat capabilities and effects, to include during transit of forces to the objective area. Emerging commercial-off-shelf (COTS) handheld communications/computation devices offer a means to rapidly evolve the tactical coordination capability between air combat elements and ground combat elements. This research purports to identify acquisition strategies that enable the USMC to rapidly acquire such emerging technology by mitigating long lead -time constraints imposed by traditional acquisition program oversight. |
