Research on Information Sharing Method for Future C2 in Network Centric Environment

Abstract

Information in network centric environment has characteristics of massiveness, heterogeneousness, dynamic, and uncertainty. As a result, how to share information on demand for command and control (C2) missions so as to support generation of high-quality battlefield situation in networked condition has become one of desiderative problems to be solved in future C2. In mode of platform-centric, the method for information sharing is static and predesigned according to tree-pattern echelon of command, which led that rich information resources could not be adequately exploited and generated to complete and consistent operational situation. Therefore, it needs to be explored new method of information sharing for future C2 in network centric environment. Information sharing issues for future C2 are wide, and we focus on the aspects concerned with theoretical analysis, information sharing/dissemination method and measurement. In this paper, our work include: 1) the complexity analysis for information sharing are given from operational requirement and systematology view respectively; 2) an information sharing method is proposed from systematology by using the idea of importing negative entropy; 3) from a technical point of view, an information sharing method based on Publish/Subscribe is put forward, and simulation results demonstrate that this method performs better information sharing performance than the existing method; 4) a four-dimensional measurement framework is proposed to measure information sharing capacity for future C2.
