IXO will develop sensor and information system technology
and systems with application to battle space awareness,
targeting, command and control, and the supporting
infrastructure required to address land-based threats in a
dynamic, closed-loop process.
 Dynamic battle management technology is needed to unify
control of tactical ground and air-ground operations, implement
effects-based target analysis and attack against networked
systems, and support overall interactive campaign planning and
assessment.
 At the campaign level, IXO will investigate mixed-initiative
systems to allow geographically distributed planning staffs to
collaborate in the continuous construction and assessment of
the complex, multi-threaded operations plans required to
support dynamic operations in high-threat environments with
constrained rules of engagement.
