Command, Control and Communications(C3) Systems Model and Measures of Effectiveness (MOEs).

Abstract

The logical structure of a new comprehensive C3 system model which is independent of national origin and tactical situation and which forms the basis for development of a computer simulation for analysis of C3 systems performance is introduced. Three classes of C3 MOEs which when taken together completely describe all the critical elements of C3 system's performance are also introduced. One of these MOE classes (ie, the MU class) includes most of the MOEs which have been proposed and utilized previously. In addition, two other classes are proposed which include a measure of the effects of information consistency (ie, the ALPHA-BETA class) as well as a completely new class of MOEs describing the knowledge differences between the elements of a force and between two opposing forces (ie, the DELTA-K class). Each of these classes of MOEs has both local and global interpretations which permit the evaluation of the component parts of a C3 system as well as of the performance of the C3 system as a whole.
