The Effects of Communications, Command, and Control on Interceptor Effectiveness in Anti-Ait Warfare.
Abstract
This technical memorandum was prepared as part of a study being performed to develop methodology which can be applied to the quantitative analysis of communications, command, and control systems. In order to develop this analysis capability, it is first necessary to have an understanding of the ways in which the performance of the communications, command, and control system affects the capabilities of the various interfacing weapon systems. The nature of these interaction mechanisms and the relative magnitudes of their influence on force effectiveness will determine the characteristics of the needed methodology. The purpose of this technical memorandum is to define those interaction mechanisms through which the performance of the communications, command and control system affects the ability of interceptor aircraft to perform effectively in the air defense mission. These interaction mechanisms are discussed in detail, and their potential influence on force effectiveness is evaluated in representative tactical situations. These discussions are intended to provide an insight into the details of the problem that is being analyzed, and a quantitative and qualitative appreciation for the possible impacts of including these considerations in any mathematical models that are developed.
