C4I Research Program



The research program is structured around the command and control process. A simplified view of the process for a military system is shown below. Similar models apply to various civilian systems. The process involves production of data and transforming it into information, processing information for decision making , and dissemination of data, orders, information, and control through communication systems. The Center research program is designed in such a way that investigators explore all aspects of this process, as well as the total process.
