Toward a General Theory of C3 (Command, Control and Communications) Processes
Abstract
This report continues the past effort by the author in establishing an approach to a general theory of C3 processes and an ensuing decision game. Previous work is corrected, modified, and extended here. An outline of a general C3 decision game is first presented, utilizing as an integral part, a formal theory describing the evolution of a typical C3 node state vector. The determination of the C3 decision game also requires an algebraic logic description pair assigned to the formal theory, such as probability logic or fuzzy logic, depending on the type of information considered. In the probability logic case, a general result concerning uniform approximation by linear-Gaussian mixtures of distributions is presented. This is shown to have potentially good applications for carrying out reduced calculations of evolving node state distributions, as functionals of pertinent distributions of various C3 variables and relations. Keywords: C3 (Command and control communications), Formal theory, Stochastic processes, Linear regression, Gaussian sums, Algebraic logic.
