Download or read book Combat Operations C3I written by Air University Press and published by . This book was released on 2017-09-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author introduces basic definitions, functions, and processes of command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I). He develops a conceptual model of the combat operations process based on the American approach to war. The study investigates the stochastic nature of combat operations and develops a guide to effective command. Major Orr concludes that a distributed C3I architecture designed to exploit the unpredictability of combat is best suited to the true nature of combat and the strengths of American fighting units. Chapter I summarizes the work of the military theorists I found most useful and discusses the American approach to war. Challenges to this approach by advocates of "maneuver warfare" also receive attention. These summaries form the basis for later comments on the nature of war and the combat operations command process. Chapter II introduces the basic definitions, functions, and process of C3I. I then modify a conceptual model of the C3I process to produce a conceptual model of the combat operations process. The detailed discussion of the decision and force application functions within this process introduces two additional conceptual models. The power distribution model describes combat in terms of the location of sources of power and the ability of these power sources to apply military force. This model includes the evolution of this power distribution due to maneuver and actual combat interactions. This power distribution model is the basis for the discussion of command in Chapter III. The second model is introduced in the military problem-solving process model. This model, applied to the problem of controlling the evolution of the power distribution, provides the framework for the investigation of effective command of the combat operations process. Chapter III looks at the concept of command in combat operations. It identifies and discusses the implications of the stochastic nature of combat operations-the unpredictability of combat results and the uncertain, probabilistic nature of combat. Theoretical concepts are illustrated using simple military examples. As a result of these observations, the chapter defines military command as control of the evolution of the power distribution, and it links strategy to the problem of influencing this evolution into desirable patterns.

Book Principles of Military Communications for C3I  Command  Control  Communications and Intelligence

Download or read book Principles of Military Communications for C3I Command Control Communications and Intelligence written by Dale E. Fincke and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper attempts to develop a coherent group of previously uncodified basic concepts, military communications principles, to provide qualitative theoretical linkage in support of the tenets of U.S. AirLand Battle Doctrine. Further, the proposed communications principles are neither technology dependent nor combat operations inhibiting, but should govern the development and implementation of communications in support of command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) at the tactical and operational levels of war. TO ensure requisite C3I communications, basic concepts must be both rigorous and clear. The five (5) operational principles presented in this paper -- continunity, homogeneity, versatility, security and simplicity -- present a starting point for the development of military communication theory in support of current operational doctrine, and are supported by historical antecedents. Along with each operational principle the supporting subordinate elements and their associated qualitative criterion are developed and presented. Finally, a chapter on implications for system design describes a conceptual military communications system found on the principles developed and discussed in this paper. (Author).

Download or read book Combat Operations C3I Command Control Communications and Intelligence Fundamentals and Interactions written by and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study summarizes a wide-ranging investigation of combat operations, military theory, and command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) that occurred during the author's 1981-82 tour at the Airpower Research Institute as a research associate sponsored by Air Force Systems Command. His research eventually focused on two areas. The first was a search for a unifying concept to explain strategy and combat operations. The second was an attempt to understand C3I in terms of this concept. The five chapters of this study trace his investigations and conclusions in these areas. Chapter I summarizes the work of the military theorists he found most useful and discusses the American approach to war. Chapter II introduces the basic definitions, functions, and processes of C3I. Chapter III looks at the concept of command in combat operations. Chapter IV expands upon this last concept by using the military problem-solving process model as a guide to effective command. The final chapter examines more closely the role of C3I within the combat operations process.

Book FY96 Command Control Communications and Intelligence C3I Technology Area Plan

Download or read book FY96 Command Control Communications and Intelligence C3I Technology Area Plan written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To control and exploit air and space requires that the Air Force have properly trained people, superior equipment and the right information - at the right place and at the right time - concerning its own forces and those of any adversary. For this reason, C31 is more important than ever, and a critical element to ensuring the Air Force can fulfill its mission. Our military forces, although reduced in size must be highly flexible, globally responsive, and at times deadly precise. They must operate successfully in high threat, high technology environments. and in new missions such as humanitarian assistance. With revolutionary C31 technologies, we can respond accurately and effectively to the rapidly changing international scene. With innovative technologies, we can control the increasing instability of the battlefield and overwhelm the increasing sophistication of our adversaries. Our vision is simple. We want to ensure that our warfighters have total control and a comprehensive view of the battlefield. We will give our warfighters access to whatever data they need and will ensure that It's up to date and accurate.

Book Mercury s Dilemma  C3I and the Operational Level of War

Download or read book Mercury s Dilemma C3I and the Operational Level of War written by Paul D. Hughes and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982, the US Army began its renaissance of the operational level of war with the publication of a revised Field Manual (FM) 100-5, Operations. The rediscovery of this level and the subsequent experimentation with it strained the very limits of the Army's command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I) systems. Virtually all branches of the Army felt the changes brought on by FM 100-5, especially in the areas of firepower, mobility, and protection. Commanders had to view military operations from a broader perspective and act accordingly. The significant impact of the operational level of war has been in organizational changes, new concepts, and dynamic operations. The effect of these changes on C3I are reviewed and assessed in this monograph. The first topic reviewed is the Army's concept of the operational level warfare. Next, the theoretical and doctrinal bases of the Army's C3I systems are examined. Finally, the requirements for C3I at the operational level are presented and conclusions drawn. Keywords: Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence, Leadership, Command, Operational art, Operational level.

Download or read book TNF S C3 D CONDUCT A Simulation Model of the Army s Command Control Communications and Intelligence C3I Process written by Thomas V. Noon and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer model (CONDUCT) has been developed that simulates corps and subordinate command, control, communications, and intelligence C3I functions with particular emphasis on the integration of the new generation of intelligence, surveillance, and target-acquisition systems within the developing 1982 and 1986 force structure. CONDUCT is an event-by-event simulation model written in GPSS-V (General Purpose Simulation System), representing the combat and combat support command/staff elements and communications nodes/nets for the operations and intelligence functions within a type corps. Maneuver and engineer units are represented to platoon level, artillery units to battery level, and target-acquisition and Combat Electronics Warfare Intelligence (CEWI) units to sensor team level. Major command posts and operations centers are subdivided into their primary functional areas. Also given are results from the initial 16-hr combat simulation.

Book Realizing the Potential of C4I

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.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers commanders and managers an operational perspective of the steadily evolving technology of artificial intelligence (AI). This primer discusses AI within the context of its probable future application to command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I). The technological advances in command, control, and intelligence collection and communications capabilities the concurrent inundation of data into command facilities, and the limited number of experienced personnel available to analyze the material are the catalysts to investigate the current as well as future assistance that may be available through AI systems. And as it will be pointed out, the human contribution to this environment is key to the success of AI systems. In order for the reader to better understand the differences between current conventional computer services and those that capitalize on AI techniques, a little background as well as some fundamental building blocks of this newly emerging art are introduced.
