Architecture Principles for Information Superiority in Future Command and Control Systems
This is the final report from the System Architecture project. The project takes a long-range perspective and its
purpose is to investigate prerequisites for a successive change of focus towards a network-based technical and
system architecture for future Swedish Command and Control systems during the next two decades.
In this report, as in the prestudy report from 1998, the concept of is used to
denote the vision of a methodological and technological approach. This would enable the gradual extension and
modification of the functions of the command and control system, in step with changes in requirements and as new
technical solutions become available. The report presents methodological and software technology approaches
which we consider particularly important to achieve the required flexibility. The report also claims that the concept
of Model Based Battle Command should be adopted as the basis for a necessary gradual integration of command
and control, sensor, and C2 simulation systems.
A starting point for much of our discussion is the frequently expressed need for a .
We point out that this concept should be understood, not as a veritable picture, but as a metaphor which
encompasses all potentially useful and collectible state information about own and enemy forces, as well as
estimated or calculated threats and opportunities associated with a given situation.
The methods and the technology presented were selected because they should offer good opportunities to create
such a complex system of systems which will form the backbone of the future C2 system. Some of the technical
solutions we present, among them the mediator technology, do not yet exist as mature products. We describe,
however, only such technology which exists either as established products and standards or as well-tested research
prototypes.
