A Cooperative Command and Control Model

Command and control (abbreviated C2) is the key of integrated cooperative engagement, and directly decides the process and outcome of war. As the background of integrated engagement, in view of the analysis of several typical C2 models, based on synergetic theory and method, the definition of cooperative C2 was elaborated, and a kind of cooperative C2 model was proposed. Then, framework of the model was given, the composition and function of the model were described, and the logical structure and characteristics of the model were analyzed. This research provides a new study idea and method for C2, and it has important reference value for the design of future C2 system.
