Points of Departure for Future Maritime Command and Control: Human and Organisational Factors

Abstract

For the Royal Netherlands Navy a research program is initiated - the Command Study - to develop and analyse new concepts of command and control on board of a naval platform with a view to future operational and task requirements and reduced manning. As a first approach a vision was developed and related critical issues were identified. The vision is that new ways of command can be realised by reduction of vertical command and control levels and by integration of operational tasks. Its feasibility depends on the realisation of a number of critical requirements, such as situational data integration, tactical treat analysis, quickening anticipation and reaction times, whether people are able to perform different warfare tasks in parallel, whether work load peaks can be dynamically distributed in the organisation, and complex skills can be acquired and maintained efficiently.
