Thanks Ken. That's useful. Any clue for where one can get the DTD or Schema for that? I googled it but find mostly other referential articles. The concept is good: standardize only the essential core or shareable elements (what, where, when) and reuse that across the entire C2 network. len From: Ken North [mailto:kennorth@s...] hhalpin@i... wrote "Still, if someone was going to use XML in some capacity to shoot missles or aid in flying airplanes (which, given the increasing variety of things XML is used for, could happen soon!)" Fait accompli. "The advent of Cursor on Target is a fundamental augmentation of existing machine language standards," he continued. "Each battlefield system contains a myriad of data that takes time to learn and understand. CoT contains a kind of abstract of the key data that's common across the user communities. It provides a lightweight, simplified common interface language that contains the important elements. That means it can be quickly read, or understood, by the next user community in the chain. CoT isn't just a drawing board initiative, however, but is already at war and scoring impressive successes. Developed by a team comprising ESC, MITRE, Air Force Special Operations Command, Air Force Research Laboratory and the Navy, CoT was initially designated for deployment to special forces units to provide improved time-critical targeting. Tests have shown that sensor-to-shooter paths enabled with CoT software improve the speed of the process by nearly 70 percent, while also significantly increasing firepower accuracy."
