ArcC4I is designed as geotactical components that can be used in building a computer, communication, command, control, and intelligence (C4I) system for the defense domain. ArcC4I is based on ArcObjects technology. It uses one of the strong capabilities of the ArcInfo 8 geodatabase (i.e., custom behavior for features and objects). Some of the new concepts developed in ArcC4I enable various dynamic connections between C4I objects and introduce new guardian mechanisms. The battle sketches included as part of ArcC4I are much more than just simple graphic pictures, as they are constructed from "living" objects that can be guarded.
