HPEC Challenge:
Communication Functions
Network may be source of surprise computational problems and
system congestion / bottlenecks
Will be the largest, most ad hoc, dynamic and mobile Unit of
Action network ever deployed
A ground traffic control system integrated with an air traffic control
system that will work in all environments and conditions
HPEC Challenge:
Communications Security
HPEC can assist in data encryption
Process is very complex, i.e., multilevel security, and
computationally intensive especially for authentication.
Challenge is striking a balance between security and
performance, interoperability, reliability, . . .
Main processing challenge is complexity of decoding
encryption techniques used in authentication

HPEC Challenge:
Aided / Automatic Target Recognition
Typical ATR systems analyze a digital representation
of a scene and locate/identify objects of interest
While conceptually simple, ATR has extremely
demanding I/O and computational requirements
Image data are large, can be generated in real-time,
and must be processed quickly so that results remain
relevant in a dynamic environment
Future Force ATR will incorporate more than one
sensor and use more data from other sources

Summary
The Armys Future Force will have a critical need for
HPEC technologies throughout its system of systems
Autonomous sensing and sensor fusion
Complex communications tasks
The acute Army challenges for HPEC are cost, power
consumption and physical size
The Army is looking to academia and industry for
advances in HPEC to enable its vision of the Future
