Download or read book Realizing the Potential of C4I written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-06-17 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid progress in information and communications technologies is dramatically enhancing the strategic role of information, positioning effective exploitation of these technology advances as a critical success factor in military affairs. These technology advances are drivers and enablers for the "nervous system" of the militaryâ€"its command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systemsâ€"to more effectively use the "muscle" side of the military. Authored by a committee of experts drawn equally from the military and commercial sectors, Realizing the Potential of C4I identifies three major areas as fundamental challenges to the full Department of Defense (DOD) exploitation of C4I technologyâ€"information systems security, interoperability, and various aspects of DOD process and culture. The book details principles by which to assess DOD efforts in these areas over the long term and provides specific, more immediately actionable recommendations. Although DOD is the focus of this book, the principles and issues presented are also relevant to interoperability, architecture, and security challenges faced by government as a whole and by large, complex public and private enterprises across the economy.
Download or read book Planning and Architectural Design of Modern Command Control Communications and Information Systems written by A. Nejat Ince and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of this book is Command Control Communication and Information 3 (C I) which is the management infrastructure for any large or complex dynamic resource systems. Here command means the determination of what to do, and control means the ongoing managementofthe execution ofa command. 3 Decision making is the essence of C I which is accomplished through a phased implementation of a set of facilities, communications, personnel, equipment and procedures for monitoring, forecasting, planning, directing, allocating resources, and generating options to achieve specific and general objectives. 3 The C I system that is in question here is for a strategic military command including its subordinate commands. Although the design methodology that will be expounded in the book is for a military system, it can, to a large extent, apply also to tactical military as well as to civilian management information systems (MIS). 3 A C I system is a decision making network that reflects a hierarchical organization 3 of C I nodes. Each node is responsible for the management of some portion ofthe available resources, where the higher level nodes are responsible for a 3 correspondingly greater portion of the resources. Within a C I system both command and control decision making occur at every level of the hierarchy. Command decisions at one level determine how to satisfy the management decisions at a higher level.
Download or read book C3I Test Instrumentation System MANPRINT Evaluation of the Data Collection Subsystem with Additional Comments Pertaining to the Data Reduction Subsystem written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Data Collection Subsystem (DCS) of the Command, Control, Communications, and Intelligence (C3I) Test-Instrumentation System (C312) consists of mobile computerize hardware that provides automated data collection during operational tests of C3I systems. This research evaluated DCS-operator interfaces and DCS system documentation for manpower, personnel, training, human factors engineering, safety, and health hazards. Emphasis was on human factors engineering. The research was conducted in conjunction with two system tests conducted by the Army Test and Experimentation Command. The major findings were these: (a) Using contractor technicians as operators is wasteful because their maintenance skills are not exploited. Enlisted military personnel should be considered instead. (b) Because there was no formal training program, a formal training evaluation was not conducted. DCS operations were easy to learn, but there were gaps in operator and maintainer knowledge and performance. Manuals were inadequate. Sixteen training-relate findings were documented. (c) Hard-wire setup required 1-1/2 hours; teardown required about 50 minutes. Rapid deployment to a new location would require at least 2 hours 20 minutes, not including transit time, site location and layout, weather delays, and so on.
Download or read book Automated Assistance for Fire Support Command Control Communications and Intelligence C3I written by Gary Witus and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems of designing C3I system functions and concepts to improve performance of staff operations have been ascribed to difficulties in structuring and decomposing manual information handling tasks, poor understanding of applications of ADP, and limited understanding of the cognitive friction between personnel and ADP systems. This report describes a methodology developed to overcome these problems. The core of the methodology includes a taxonomy of generic C3I tasks, a taxonomy of generic classes of ADP services, and a matrix relating potential uses of ADP services to support generic C3I tasks. The report illustrates the methodology by applying it to the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System and includes an analysis of ADP services provided by systems using low risk hardware and software approaches, a decomposition of fire support C2 functions into detailed and elementary subfunctions, and recommendations concerning the use of ADP services to provide automated assistance to the fire support C2 functions and subfunction.
Download or read book Assessing Command and Control Effectiveness written by Peter Berggren and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing Command and Control Effectiveness: Dealing with a Changing World offers a description of the current state of Command and Control (C2) research in imperfect settings, showing how a research process should assess, analyse and communicate results to the development cycle of methods, work, manning and C2-technology. Special attention is given to the development of C2 research methods to meet the current and coming needs. The authors also look forward towards a future where effective assessment of C2 abilities are even more crucial, for instance in agile organisations. The purpose of the C2 research is to improve the process and make it more effective while still saving time and money. Research methods have to be chosen carefully to be effective and simple, yet provide results of high quality. The methodological concerns are a major consideration when working under such circumstances. Furthermore, there is often a need for a swift iterative development cycle, and thus a demand to quickly deliver results from the research process. This book explains how field research experimentation can be quick, simple and effective, being able to draw valid conclusions even when sample sizes are small and resources are limited, collecting empirical data using measures and procedures that are minimally intrusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents approaches for assessing the impact of information technology on command & control. The determination of the contribution of command, control, communications, & intelligence (C3I) systems to the effectiveness of military missions has proven to be a complex problem, given the depth & breadth of military organizations and the wide range of their operations. The evaluation of C3I systems necessitates the application of a framework & a methodology to yield appropriate measures of merit. Since single measure or methodology exists that satisfactorily assesses the overall effectiveness of command & control systems, a multi-method, multi-phase approach is necessary. This report defines hierarchies of measures, presents example frameworks & structures for merit assessments, and discusses factors relevant to & affecting these assessments.

Leonides and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Control and Dynamic Systems: Advances in Theory and Applications, Volume 54: System Performance Improvement and Optimization Techniques and their Applications in Aerospace Systems covers the issue of aerospace system performance and optimization techniques in aerospace systems. This book is composed of 12 chapters and begins with an examination of the techniques for aircraft conceptual design for mission performance. The succeeding chapters describe the balances and optimized design for aircraft and spacecraft structures through finite element procedures and the application of the knowledge-based system techniques for pilot aiding. These topics are followed by discussions of the optimal sensor placement for on-orbit modal identification experiments; the optimization techniques for helicopter airframe vibrations design; the size reduction techniques for efficient aeroservoelastic model determination; sensitivity analysis of eigendata of aeroelastic systems; and a simplified solution for transient structural dynamic problems with local nonlinearities. Other chapters explore a reduction algorithm for systems with integrators and the techniques for overcoming the difficulty of nonuniqueness of mode shape in modal analysis when random input data are not or cannot be measured. The last chapters consider the combined concepts of Krylov vectors and parameter matching and their application to develop model-reduction algorithms for structural dynamics. These chapters also provide the techniques for the development of new tracking algorithms that would incorporate explicit models of the maneuvering/nonmaneuvering phases of target encounter. This book will prove useful to aerospace, control, systems, and design engineers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a theater of operations, the C3I system is the nervous system of the force. It is the collection of pipes, wires, and channels through which information about enemy activity, status of forces, directions, and orders flow. At the component level, C3I systems are Service specific, and tailored to meet Service needs. At the theater level, C3I systems are tailored to meet theater specific needs, and the architecture varies from unified command to unified command. The theater level C3I system must integrate the component level systems into a seamless apparatus which will support theater-wide operations.
