University of California, San Diego Summary
Scope
The focus of this chapter is not a detailed profile of a current or planned military C3 system but it is rather on
the issues and the technologies of the C3 mission. Evolving technology, an evolving world order, and constant
programmatic reorderings render such express descriptions to e rapidly outdated. Thus block diagrams
of specific military systems (and listings of their acronyms) are de-emphasized. Of paramount interest is not
electronics technology in isolation, but rather technology integrated into systems and analysis of these systems
operating plex real world environments that include technologically capable adversaries. The human
commander or decisionmaker, as the principal action element in a C3 system, is included explicitly in the
system analysis.
Background
Electronics technology is nowhere more intensively and broadly applied than in military systems. Military
systems are effective only through mand and control (C2) and this is recognized by the fact that C3
is a critical discipline within the military. Frequently systems will be denoted C2I or C3I rather mand
and control. This adds to C2 the essential area of intelligence and intelligence products derived from surveillance
systems. All variants of these acronyms are to be considered equal, whether or munications, intelligence,
or surveillance have been left implicit or made explicit. Likewise the superscript notation is considered optional
and interchangeable. The formal discipline of C3 within the mili
