Large Scale C3 Systems: Experiment Design and System Improvement.

Abstract

A methodology for improving a large scale C3 system in an optimal manner is developed. The first step of this methodology consists of a procedure for designing experiments to run on a large scale C3 system: it aims at determining the smallest number of experiments that enables one to evaluate the effectiveness of an actual system. The second step consists of a dynamic programming algorithm aimed at determining an optimal sequence of improvements for a system on the basis of the effectiveness analysis. This methodology is applied to an actual air defense system: each configuration of the system is evaluated with the first step of the methodology; then, the second step is used to find an optimal sequence of modifications for the system as it goes from one configuration to another.
