AUTOMATIC MILITARY REAL TIME COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEM

摘要

A system and method are provided for Unit of Action (UA) real-time optimal Command and Control (C²), where the UA's mission is to defeat the enemy in a predefined geographical zone. Command and Control (C²) functions are performed through an arrangement of personnel, equipment, communications, facilities, and procedures employed by a commander in planning, directing, coordinating, and controlling UA forces and operations in the accomplishment of the mission. The situation in the battlefield is continuously and rapidly changing thus it requires fast reaction from the Command and Control to optimally manage the battle, taking into consideration multitude factors which affect the decision.;Structurally, a UA may include one or more units, such as Signal Companies, Intelligence Companies, mobile gun System Companies, Infantry Companies (INF), non-line-of-sight battalion (NLOS), Air Force manned and unmanned units, Navy units.;The disclosed system takes into consideration, the characteristics of the friendly UA weapon systems, the characteristics of the enemy's weapons and targets, as well as the battle space environment parameters such as weather and terrain (using Digital Elevation Model—DEM).;Initially, the system optimally allocates the UA forces and thereafter continuously sends optimal sequence of Move and Shoot commands to all the weapon units.;The system continuously provides a forecast of the combat status at a selected future time, or it can provide combat completion time estimate as requested by the operator.;Optimization is achieved by solving multi-object functions subject to constraints using known programming techniques.
