The Joint Warrior Interoperability Demonstration for 1997 (JWID 97) provided a unique environment for the Warfighter to identify the value added for mission accomplishment of demonstrated C4I capabilities. A Warfighter focused assessment was achieved through the use of: 319 highly qualified Coalition military operators and staff; demonstrations that were exercised with scenario driven play for repeatability of processing and product development; and a skilled analysis team augmented with automated data collection and analysis tools. This assessment process enabled a comprehensive assessment of new technologies, enhanced systems and new systems in an operational, bandwidth constrained, multi-national environment and an initial look at C4I capabilities needed to support network centric warfare. Twenty-eight demonstrations participated in JWID 97 to provide solutions for ten objectives. These objectives reflected technical issues that currently exist in the USACOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) and provided JWID 97 with the opportunity to demonstrate solutions to real world problems.
