This paper describes the development and evaluation of a prototype tactical database for a new military command and control system. The database was developed using a commercially available object‐oriented database management system, and was integrated with seven user applications in a heterogeneous networked computer environment. Testing of the database took place as part of the Navy's New Attack Submarine (NSSN) Program Phase I Open System Critical Item Test (OSCIT) demonstration, conducted during late September 1995. The testing showed that use of a commercial database management product to support limited real‐time applications in a tactical command and control system is feasible. This indicates that the Navy could realize significant savings in this technical area through the use of commercially available products.
