Multiscale Representations Phase II

Abstract

This report focuses on the assessment of military capabilities and military technology and the process of military modernization. Multiscale analysis provides an analytic tool that can be applied to evaluating force capabilities as well as the relevance of designs for technological innovations to support force structures and their modernization. Evolutionary engineering is a synthetic approach to complex systems development that is relevant to the creation of integrated and highly complex systems consisting of human and technology aspects. This effort has addressed: (1) the application of multiscale concepts to assess the Combined Relevant Operational Picture design concept, (2) the process of military modernization through evolutionary engineering that applies beyond the complexity limit of planning and decomposition, and (3) the application of multiscale analysis to functional capabilities of military force organization with specific application to littoral warfare.
