Biologically Inspired Methods for Agile Command and Control (BIO C2)

Abstract

In a dynamic and complex environment, agile command and control responses are needed to handle both conventional and asymmetric challenges. Agile command and control is particularly difficult due to the necessity of cross-scale interaction. The technical idea is to develop biologically inspired methods based on individual behavior to population response dynamics to facilitate cross-scale interaction or coupling. The goal is to determine "markers" that can be placed in the environment, which can be "read" at multiple scales to produce a more agile response. Agent-based approaches will be used to investigate optimal coupling or exploitation methods between scales, including (1) uncoordinated collaboration based on biologically inspired methods; (2) coordinated collaboration or peer-to-peer methods; and (3) hybrid methods, including uncoordinated, coordinated, and/or hierarchical approaches.
