The Computational and Information Sciences Directorate
<x{(}>(CISD) conducts research in a variety of
disciplines relevant to achieving and implementing the
so-called digital battlefield. Problems address the
sensing, distribution, analysis, and display of
information in the modern battle space. CISD research
focuses on four major areas: communications, atmospheric
modeling, battlefield visualization, and computing as
described below. </p>

!important; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif
!important; color: rgb(51, 51, 51) !important;"><br
style="box-sizing: content-box;">
Research is conducted to enhance the performance of
existing battle space communications and to develop new
concepts for communications and information
distribution. Current interests focus on wireless
digital communications in an integrated architecture,
multimedia communications, the technology of information
distribution, peer-to-peer mobile ad-hoc networking,
network science, and information assurance. </p>

Research is conducted to improve our understanding of
the atmosphere and its critical relationship to the
performance of Army Systems; to create physically
correct models that support the generation of realistic
scenes of targets, terrain environments, cultural
features, and battle damage; and to impact standards and
protocols of the international modeling and simulation
community. We are especially interested in physics-based
models, three-dimensional visualization, and
environmental and atmospheric modeling. </p>

Research is conducted to provide the Army the
technologies for information processing and presentation
in the battle space, and for use of information to
control systems and hardware used in land warfare. We
are also interested in intelligent systems, battle space
visualization, soldier-centered computer interfaces
<x{(}>(HCI), advanced display technologies,
tactical decision aids, software engineering, and data
base technologies. </p>

Research is conducted to provide the Army the
technologies enabling a user-friendly synthetic
environment in which all operation and support functions
will be conducted with help from intelligent systems. We
are also interested in advanced distributed simulation,
software and intelligent systems, and high-performance
computing. High-performance computing research involves
developing numerical modeling techniques to achieve
highly optimized, multidisciplinary physical modeling on
