Abstract

As the modern warfare continuously evolves into one that is network-centric, the amount of data a weapon system has to handle is rapidly growing, which applies not just to the internal data processing software but also to the UI software. Not only is the amount of data growing, but also is the complexity of handling such data, which when combined together creates a significant delay in updating relevant components in a UI software. In the context of the defense industry, split-second delay in visual component update can lead to catastrophic failure in making strategic decisions. This paper presents a novel method that utilizes asynchronous functions to control the program flow and reduce the delay in updating multiple visual components of a modular software. We apply this method to our modular UI software which uses MVVM pattern, where we were able to reduce the delay by an average of 78.4 %.
