C2 Algorithms and Joint Modelling in the COMAND Model

Abstract

In 1996, the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (MoD) highlighted the lack of analytical methods to assess issues relating to the balance of investment in ICS (Information and Communications Systems) and ISTAR (Intelligence Surveillance Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance) systems. A method using two high-level combat models (CLARION, a land model, and COMAND, a maritime and air model) has been developed to assess the impact of these systems on campaign outcome. This paper presents a discussion of some of the key command, control, communications, and intelligence (C3I) functionality in one of these models, COMAND, and describes how it links with CLARION to create a joint modeling environment.
