Dynamic Air and Space Control Model for Advanced Automated Centrelized Command and Control
Abstract
Airspace control plan (ACP) and airspace control order (ACO) have been used to prevent chaos in the battlefield, to identify friend or foe forces, and to decrease or totally prevent friendly fire cases. On the other hand, prepared air tasking order (ATO) has been used to engage friendly forces to different targets in order to prevent possible chaos and source waste. Complexity of modern and future warfare and increasing user demands require dynamic air and space control mechanism. In this study a conceptual dynamic air and space control model is described. Furthermore, "Novel Data Distribution Model for Tactical Units in Military Operations" and "TOADO: Target Optimization for Air Defence Operations" were presented as parts of dynamic aerospace control system. Conventional aerospace procedures require planning of missile engagement zone (MEZ), fighter engagement zone (FEZ) and similar controlled areas well ahead of execution. Model we present allows operation planners and commanders to change, recreate and cancel such zones and as well as to help calculate safe routes for friendly forces. Commanders also use data distribution model to inform all tactical units about air control, mission orders, and movements of enemies. An algorithm for automated aerospace control is also developed.
