The Role of the Operational Command in Acquiring C3 (Communication Command and Control) Systems.

Abstract

The Air force has not been successful in acquiring Communication Command and Control (C3) systems. The failure of the acquisition to NORAD Cheyenne Mountain Complex Improvement Program (427M) is one of the notable failures discussed briefly. This paper describes some characteristics of C3 systems that necessarily link the user or operation command to the success of C3 acquisitions. Then the specific role of the operational command in C3 acquisition is discussed with hope of showing the user how he can structure his command to acquire C3 systems. (Author)
