Control Reconfiguration of Command and Control Systems

Abstract

Currently, an air operation center (AOC) for a major regional conflict is composed of more than 400 personnel, hundreds of computer servers and an extensive communication infrastructure. So, in addition to the goals of achieving a faster, more real time response, there is also a desire to reduce the manning and equipment associated with the endeavor. This means that the management of redundancy must be optimized. An important consideration in the design and fielding of such systems is its capacity to accommodate faults through control reconfiguration using either direct or analytic redundancy. The latter relies on exploiting the inherent dynamic and static relationship of the system variables, and having the advantage of most efficient use of the components. This research applied the concepts of control reconfigurability to C2 systems modeled as stochastic discrete event systems.
