Abstract

In this paper we present the CAMELOT project Command Control (C2) framework, which aim is to provide seamless interoperability with each of the UxV platform domains, by a single standard for message formats and data protocols, without necessitating a re-structuring of existing interface protocols and underlying architectures. This will lead to evolution to one unified standard that can be applied for development of all unmanned systems types in the future. The CAMELOT framework will include different service modules for controlling the C2 Infrastructure and Operation, for data management and running analytics, for supporting communications and network connectivity between blocks, and for providing interfaces to external systems. Special care will be taken to maximise interfaces with external information frameworks and to ensure future implementation and adoption by end users.
