C³ and Combat Simulation—A Survey

Abstract

This article looks at the overlap between C³ and combat simulation, from the point of view of the developer of combat simulations and models. In this context, there are two different questions. The first is: How and to what extent should specific models of the C³ processes be incorporated in simulations of combat? Here the key point is the assessment of impact. In which types or levels of combat does C³ play a role sufficiently intricate and closely coupled with combat performance that it would significantly affect combat results? Conversely, when is C³ a known factor or modifier which can be simply accommodated without a specific detailed model being made for it?
