DJ - Echolot? or ECHELON ? or CEC?

Online WSJ has a special report on "Spending for Defense"
online.wsj.com (on subscription)

The CEC is ibdeed a sort of web based target acquisition system:
The Cooperative Engagement Capability, or CEC, isn't a new missile or radar. It's an advanced radio network that links radar and other sensors from several ships, greatly expanding their scope of vision. Despite all the talk about unconventional threats after Sept. 11, the biggest worry for commanders at sea is still a missile attack.

With the system, a commander aboard one ship can see exactly what another ship miles away can see. CEC allows ships tied together in a network to look around radar jamming and bursts of chaff -- thin strips of tinfoil that can mask an approaching missile. It expands a ship's vision beyond its own radar horizon, giving it more time to respond to an incoming missile or hostile aircraft.

ECHELON is another sort of web based intelligence system, military at first, it has become a trade secrets stealing machine: zdnet.co.uk
