Heartbeat• The Heartbeat is a sub-protocol of the TCP/IP (Internet) stack that is as old as the internet. It is

usually referred to for system failover operations.

• The Heartbeat function in this context is NOT about network timing using Loran-C or newer cesium / quartz crystal timing mechanisms although a central timing pulse from Cheyenne Mountain is essential to synchronize data harvesting and data propagation over grid

• The Heartbeat function IS simply an opportunity in time to gather (state meta) data from internet devices that is then used to adjust the internet infrastructure. 

• The military (having developed the internet stack in the first place (DARPA / Mr. Al Gore...); knew that there were unused opportunities in time  (unused data frames) to move data via heartbeat mechanism to folders, queues, caches, folders… then to system administrators via the structured military K00.99 “Heartbeat Message” – . - .. -- .. beep beep…. beep beep…

– The developers of FBCB2/Blue Force Tracking exploited this (to this day) arcane knowledge in developing

what is call the "template system" (actually there are 7 - 64 of them as briefed to congress) by several different 4 star generals. 

– Protocol gurus (geeks) refer to the heartbeat / beacon interchangeably or even together i.e., heartbeat / beacon / heartbeat beacon…. Decision makers avoid these geeky discussions by any means necessary.

• Point being, working together on an apples to apples, oranges to oranges level involves using opportunities in time to CHOOSE / CHANGE our (telecommunications) matrix to help each other in a consistent, synchronous, synergistic method across systems, networks, agencies, federal, state, local, Tribal, international / sub-terrainian, ocean floor, intergalactic...

The continuous adaptation of capabilities relevant to security - in short transformation - in order to meet the security challenges of the information age is well under way regarding the demands of the military. Based on the support of highly developed information technology to speed up the processes of influencing an adversary, new conceptsresult in the adaptation of military doctrine, organization, training, material, infrastructure, interagency interaction, leadership, personnel and facilities.

Efforts to achieve the adaptation are comprehensively described on numerous Internet websites such as those of the United States Joint Forces Command, the Allied Command Transformation and the German Bundeswehr. Core elements of the improvement of capabilities are the concepts of "Network Centric Warfare" in the United States of America, "Network Enabled Capabilities" in Great Britain or "Vernetzte Operationsführung" in Germany.

The key determinants of these network-based concepts are information sharing and collaboration: "Information-sharing and collaboration enhance the quality of information and shared situational awareness. Shared situational awareness enables collaboration and self-synchronization, and enhances sustainability and speed of command."

The widespread use of new Information Communication Technology is intended to enable better exploitation and faster dissemination of intelligence in support of military operations so that political and military decision-making is more authoritative and practical outcomes are more effective. The idea began moving forward from the experimental stage into practical application with "Operation Iraqi Freedom" led by the United States and the United Kingdom against the Saddam Hussein regime early in 2003.

How? Convert battlefield military tactics, tools, & procedures…

O: Maneuver Control Systems (S3) generates & xmits consolidated Unit Task Order (UTO) to TIMS / FBCB2 operator (S6)1. TIMS – Tactical Internet Management System operator populates “Hasty” Reorg Tool” that generates a new UTO with next UTOVersion number, effective Date Time Group and synchronization Time (K00.99 heartbeat message option UTO notification) 2. S6 Sends out initial UTO message. FBCB2 processes UTO notification & sets timer to execute change at effective time3. Heartbeat Process: (TIMS/FBCB2 engine) generates “Heartbeat” message every 15 minutes with the current UTO version. 4A: GTCS – Ground Tactical Communications Server passes heartbeat to state manager (Variable Message Format or VMF)4/5: At effective date/time, All FBCB2’s in multicast group reconfigures database to ensure proper Situational Awareness SA Calculation, new INC (Internet Controller – a router adapted for combat radio interface ) MIBS Management Information Base (common to all routers – military & commercial) & distribution lists / subscription lists in commercial parlance. Operator is promptedTo reconfigure or delay 10 minutes (w/option to change at anytime). When operator OKs, database is rebuilt & network reconfigures6. TIMS generates new Multicast Group (MCG) file, and if required, TOC INC MIBs & TOC router configurations automatically @Effective time. TIMS calls the ModifyMCGInfo API (Subnet filename, MCG filename, UNIT URN, UTO version, Local IP AddressLDAP C2R Server update tool executed as multicast group file, UTO version number & the AIS – Army Information Server e.g.,Server running n supporting processes/apps to connect (will ignore if it already has one set)7. C2R – LDAP Server MCG update tool updates multicast group data on the AIS8. C2R Server recognizes that a UTO has occurred & notifies state manager (SM) if it is there. Else it sends out the SM alert that the State Manager would have sent. C2R server replicates multicast group data to all configured UTO replication destinations.9. GTCS gets SM or C2R server alert, reads updated MCG from C2R then updates internal config file & LAN card if platform affected

integrated Rule-Oriented Data System iRODS: a: flexible data archive management system supporting many different site configurations.

Four main components :

1. iRODS server that manages stored data 2. iCAT catalog metadata manager

3. Database used by the catalog. 4. 'i-commands' command-line data access

Data Management Applications: Data Management Applications: Data grids to Share data - organize distributed data as a collectionDigital libraries to Publish data @ support browsing and discovery Persistent archives to Preserve data - manage technology evolution Real-time sensor systems Federate sensor data - integrate across sensor streams Workflow systems Analyze data - integrate client- & server-side workflows

The integrated Rule Oriented Data management System (iRODS), is an open source software data management system developed by the Data Intensive Computing Environments (DICE) group at the University of California San Diego with funding from the National Archives and Records Administration & National Science Foundation.

iRODS functionality includes: maintaining global name spaces for identifying files, users, and storage resources, authentication and authorization controls, high performance WAN data transport, system and user-defined metadata, query-based data discovery and browsing, management of data distribution and replication, and checksum and synchronization mechanisms.

iRODS provides a flexible, adaptive, and customizable data management architecture through the use of a custom-designed Rule Engine at its core which invokes 'micro-services' that are integrated into workflows to process requests and handle information. iRODS automates the execution of management policies by enforcing rules directly at each storage resource.

Metadata, both system-maintained and optional user-defined, are ingested & accessed in an RDBMS system. Accesses go through the iRODS clients to iRODS servers via the iRODS protocol, and then to the catalog library which interfaces to the RDBMS via either ODBC or OCI.

Performance and scalability are critical, as the digital holdings can be massive in size, measured in hundreds of millions of files and petabytes of storage, and may be maintained for decades.

iRODS is proposed as an excellent rules based engine/workflow engine to power the Heartbeat Beacon.
