Structure of Command and Control (C2) Analysis

  • Chapter
Systems Analysis and Modeling in Defense

Abstract

With a team of some nine scientists and technical assistants supported in part by limited contractor effort, we have constructed a comprehensive and systematic capacity to perform a user-oriented analysis of command and control (C2). We believe no other such capacity currently exists. It is the details of the construction, and especially the supporting rationale, on which we shall now report. The work in progress (summer 1982) is being performed in response to a real problem in the area of air defence C2.
