Winning in Time: Enabling Naturalistic Decision Making in Command and Control

Abstract

Key US proponents of the Revolution in Military Affairs described future war as a system of systems in which dominant battlespace knowledge would enable a system of sensors and shooters to be connected for the purpose of engagement through an advanced, information technology-based command and control function (Fig 1). Through dominant battlespace knowledge, the command and control function would achieve efficiency levels which would greatly alter the nature of conflict- current time constants in the decision, action, feedback loop would be drastically shortened. The nature of weapons and platforms would change and the organization and training of forces would change.
