Japan Defense Agency Adopts ILOG Views to Enhance Self-Defense Force Decision Making
TOKYO - March 17, 2004 - ILOG® (NASDAQ: ILOG; Euronext: ILO, ISIN: FR0004042364),
a leading provider of enterprise-class software components and services, today
announced that Japan Defense Agency (JDA) has adopted ILOG Views™ to
enhance the user interface of the Command Control System of Japan’s Ground
Self-Defense Force (GSDF). The Command Control System is a “C4I” (Command,
Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) system that coordinates
three functions essential to defense: the delegation of forces (i.e., command
and control); information management (i.e., communications and computers);
and intelligence dissemination.
The Command Control System enables the GSDF, with more than 150 military stations
across the country, to actively monitor command control of each of its units.
In case of emergencies, the system rapidly conveys critical information to
each unit’s military commanders, helping to facilitate supply logistics
and mission planning. This highly complex, mission-critical information, now
displayed using ILOG Views’ advanced
graphics, will improve and accelerate the GSDF’s decision-making by allowing
each unit’s commanders to swiftly and accurately understand the current
situation and respond in a more efficient manner.
AP2000, the standard architecture for GSDF’s Command Control System,
functions as an integrated framework that conveys emergency information to
commanders. GSDF selected ILOG Views because it was the only tool able to make
AP2000’s graphical elements display as quickly and readily as needed
in order to meet the JDA’s requirements.
ILOG Views is compatible with Windows and UNIX, including Solaris and Linux,
which enables a flexible architecture that is not dependent on vendor or architecture.
As a result, GSDF succeeded in dramatically reducing the costs of both software
development and application deployment. Because of the success in deploying
ILOG Views as part of its GSDF operations, JDA plans to deploy the technology
for Maritime Self-Defense Forces’ (MSDF) command control supporting system
for maritime tactical forces.
