Abstract

A new generation of C3 (command, control, and communication) models for military cybernetics has been developed in recent papers. Recursive equations for the solution of the C3-problem have been derived for an amphibious campaign with linear time-varying dynamics. Air and ground commanders are assumed to have different modes of intelligence and communications. Numerical results are summarized, and the relative importance of intelligence and communications is discussed.
