Computers for Command and Control: An Airland Battle Requirement!

Abstract

Airland Battle doctrine places extensive requirements on the corps command and control system. However, C2 procedures have changed little since WWII. It is questionable whether the current system, based on manual information processing, can satisfy the doctrinal requirements. Microcomputer based systems can enhance communications, improve data management, and support decision making through information display and mathematical modeling. This thesis examines the current and potential utility of microcomputer systems to support command and control of corps maneuver forces in the near term (1984-1990). (Author)
