Bringing Control Theory to C2: An Update on the DARPA JFACC Program

Abstract

The current emphasis of the JFACC program is on the applicability of control theory, broadly conceived, to selected problems in military command and control. The program is organized around the conduct of a special type of experiment, in which a control technology is matched against an externally given plant. We discuss the approach and initial experimental results of a number of the research teams, as well as the work of the system architect. A final section reviews current challenges as well as anticipated future results and developments.
