Toward a Science of Command, Control, and Communications (Progress in Astronautics and Aeronautics)

To properly engineer systems to provide unity of effort in command and control systems, it is necessary to have a science of command, control and communications (C3). This book, the results of the Joint Directors of Laboratories Basic Research Group Programme, is a collection of papers toward the goal of a science of C3. The topics include the logic of data fusion, command and control decision systems modelling and behaviour, experimental findings, models of command and control, and models of C3 architectures. This variety should provide the reader with perspective on concepts, models and experiments to understand command, control and communications.
