The Design and Development of a Smart Digital Data Storage and Exchange Platform for the Air Force Command and Control Systems Using Blockchain Technology

Research objectives are to design and develop a smart digital data storage and exchange platform for the Air Force’s command and control system using the blockchain. This system focuses on process in managing data and controlling operations or activities. This also includes executing decisions under rapid changing situations or in conditions that are far more complex and uncertain. All of these require a fast and secure exchange of data. Then, the research has created an architectural platform that uses blockchain to store and exchange data. Moreover, to enhance data protection capabilities and strengthen the security of data exchange, large data transmissions were tested via smart contracts. The results showed that the system can handle data of various sizes effectively. However, as the data size increases, the processing time also increases, with the largest data size of 20 MB taking an average of 1.175 seconds to process. The research result provides the Air Force platform for command and control to work with full strength and high efficiency. This will integrate new technology with the military context, transcending into defense technology, based on the concept of Thai invention aiming to be self-sufficient.
