COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS

Abstract

Systems analysis procedures are important for determining the proper allocation of information handling and decision making functions among the men in large man-machine organizations such as military command and control systems. Research is required for modeling and analyzing these functions and relating the sensitivities of these functions to the system criterion. This report presents the steps of a generalized systems analysis procedure for command and control systems. The steps are then followed utilizing an existing SAGE Direction Control system as a vehicle for the study. Emphasis is placed upon modeling the human organization as a whole.
