Agility Quotient (AQ)

Abstract

Agility, the capability to successfully effect, cope with, and/or exploit changes in circumstances, can be directly observed only when this capability has been manifested. Increasingly agility is seen as an essential system capability and hence a requirement. To satisfy a stated requirement for agility we need to be able to answer two questions. "How can we measure a system's Agility IQ"? and "What is the requisite amount of Agility that is required"? This paper suggests a way forward and illustrates it, in the context of C2 systems.
