System theoretic challenges and research opportunities in military C3 systems

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss, in an informal way, some of the challenging research opportunities that arise in the analysis and synthesis of Command, Control, and Communications (C3) systems. It is concluded that significant advances in the theory of distributed decision theory under dynamic uncertainty are necessary to properly understand and synthesize complex military C3 systems, and to advance the state-of-the-art.
