12th ICCRTS: Adapting C2 to the 21st Century A Computationally-Feasible Algorithm for Estimation of Opponent Strength in Urban Combat Topics: Computational Aids, OPFOR Estimation, Infostructure

An estimate of the opponent’s forces is both a useful object for the commander and an input required by other tools being developed as computational aids for C2 in urban combat. The standard approach would be to maintain probability distributions over the set of potential opponent force distributions. However, that approach is not computationally feasible. In this paper, we discuss an alternati...

Iccrts Adapting C2 to the 21 the Environment in Network Centric Operations: a Framework for Command and Control (i-159)

As Command and Control practices are transformed by Network Centric Operations, the effect of the environment needs to be incorporated. The constraints of terrain and weather are two key limitations that apply to all operations. Sensor models will quantify these effects. Technologies developed by the commercial world to deal with these constraints, such as Geospatial Information Systems (GISs),...

12TH ICCRTS “Adapting C2 to the 21st Century” Title: Creating and Capturing Expertise in Mixed-Initiative Planning Track 4: Cognitive and Social Issues Track 1: C2 Concepts, Theory, and Policy Track 8: C2 Technologies and Systems Authors

Compared with prior engagements, commanders today are exposed to a battlespace that is more dynamic and less predictable. With increasing frequency, commanders are confronted with an array of problems whose solution requires knowledge beyond their military training. In these novel situations, decision makers often rely on their past experiences incorporating a process best described in research...
