Abstract

This survey paper examines emerging network approaches for military Command and Control (C2) systems. An extensive literature review is provided along the text on network-centric C2 systems. Also, it provides a comprehensive analysis of the paradigm based on C2 concepts, mapping the significant requirements of networked C2 systems to emerging approaches. Likewise, the paper explores ways to simulate networked battle scenarios realistically, leveraging the support of multi-agent systems and network simulations. The article offers a trend analysis of combining network approaches to design innovative solutions and a promising usage of multi-agent systems for realistic simulations. In conclusion, it discusses future implementations emphasizing advanced networking solutions to integrate different technologies and to drive technology boundaries to improve the effectiveness of networked military C2 systems.

Dynamically reconfigurable command and control structure for network-centric warfare

The rapidly changing battle conditions in modern network-centric operations prescribe expectations for speedy deployment and nimble ad hoc reconfiguration of military networked teams. In this paper, a formal command and control C2 structure is presented ...
Optimal command and control method for Malaysian army small units in a Malaysian forest environment: small unit tactical management system (SUTaMs)
IVIC'11: Proceedings of the Second international conference on Visual informatics: sustaining research and innovations - Volume Part II

Military section will communicate verbally or visually in the battlefield. Before engaging the enemy, section leader will give commands visually as not to alert the enemy. Once the enemy is engaged, all commands will be verbal. Shooting might cause for ...
An agent architecture for implementing command and control in military simulations
WSC '01: Proceedings of the 33nd conference on Winter simulation

In models of military operations it is important to include the Command and Control (C2) process in order to achieve a realistic simulation of a military force's behaviour and effectiveness. Inspired by ideas from complexity theory we have developed a ...
