Optimising the Design of Land Force C2 Architectures
Abstract
Two different configurations of the Australian Army Brigade HQ have been investigated using a Systems Engineering simulation tool known as CORE. A Military Appreciation Process (MAP) has been utilized as a common operational planning procedure for both configurations. The two configurations analyzed were a Future Land Force (FLF) where the Brigade HQ is divided into two different locations with separate functions, and the other is a Current Land Force (CLF) structure. The model included the Battlegroup (BG) planning process for both the FLF and CLF architectures. It has been shown that on average, the FLF design achieves the total Brigade-BG planning cycle 30% more quickly than the CLF configuration. This provides more time either to carry out further operational planning (and therefore achieve a higher quality plan within the allotted time), or to accelerate the Brigade commander's OODA loop to move within the enemy commander's decision action cycle.
