MODELLING COMMAND AND CONTROL: EVENT ANALYSIS OF SYSTEMIC TEAMWORK

摘要

In the military, the term command and control (C2) is a process that commanders use to plan, direct, coordinate and control their own and friendly forces and assets to ensure mission accomplishment. With a long historical evolution of military C2, higher demands began to be set on the promptness, effectiveness and flexibility of armed forces. In particular, three key challenges have been identified in the design of military C2 systems (Bonaceto and Burns, 2004):rn1. the demand for smaller organisations while maintaining optimal performance with fewer people,rn2. the demand for better coordination that results in effective human-system interaction, andrn3. the demand for faster execution that allows good decisions to be made in less time.
