Command Control and Information Systems in the Age of Knowledge-Centricity
Abstract
We are in the age of Knowledge Centricity (we will call it Knowledge in short). The age of Knowledge is an age of revolutionary change for businesses and military alike brought about by advancements in networking. These advancements are founded on rapid advancements in Telecommunications and Information Technology. Command Control and Information Systems (C2IS) is a medium by which military organizations exercise command and control. In the Knowledge era, C2IS design must also undergo a revolution to help the information users harness the right information, help them make a deeper appreciation of the situation, and enable them to make better and faster responses. This paper articulates an architecture for a C2IS build for the Knowledge Age, called Command Control Knowledge System (C2KS). The approach moves away from the traditional approach for C2IS design, which is based on C2 processes, to one centered on the human's knowledge creation, and sharing processes. This paper will also present a system currently under development at the SAF Center of Military Experimentation called Mission Mate, which is SAF's prototype of a C2KS.
