The Command and Control Research Program is a program that tries to help make sure that people in the military (people who work in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard) can do their jobs safely. The program helps the military understand how they can use the latest technology (like computers and satellites) to better coordinate and control the movement of their troops and equipment. They also study ways to improve the safety of their troops and make sure they have the right tools to accomplish their mission. The program also helps the military find ways to better protect the United States from potential enemy attacks.
