Abstract
Operational command is to be implemented always in the area of operations, or area of responsibility, using command assets that have a direct effect on the operational activities, and are able to quickly and operatively react to changes in the situation, and to make available the necessary forces and equipment in due time corresponding to the current situation in order to support the combat activity. These requirements are met by field command systems.This study is aimed at presenting the development results, capabilities, and application possibilities of the computer–aided intelligence planning and command and data processing functional sub–system operating on a geospatial information systems basis.
Highlights
The modern armed forces can fulfil the tasks determined at the so–called levels of ambition, the forecast tasks — in employment either under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty or not — and meet the requirements of today and those set by the alliance only if they possess and apply a “Tactical Command and Control Information System” which — as an element of the automated command system of future land units — ensures the employment planning as well as the command of combat, combat support, and combat service units, sub–units, forces as an element of the automated command system of future land units
The literal Hungarian translation of “High Pay–off Target” (HPT) would mean targets that pay off, that is their destruction is of priority from the point of view of one’s own forces for the completion of operational aims. (Figure 3)
Scientific investigations by Western and Russian military scientists have shown that fighting high pay–off targets, especially artillery equipment of great destruction in the modern circumstances can only bring success if the time elapsed between the detection of the target and firing is less than 1 minute
Summary
Operational, tactical leadership is a command and control system that is different from ordinary peacetime command, and its main purpose is to plan the economic and focused usage of the available capabilities, to define tasks and missions on the operational or tactical level, and to control the processes of employment. The intelligence and data processing sub–system ensures the planning and allocation of intelligence tasks, the determination of combat missions, the creation of the data base of the expected enemy and non–friendly forces, and the planning of grouping, deployment, and activities of the intelligence/reconnaissance elements in the phase of operations, combat activity, and employment of the combat (manoeuvre), combat support, and combat service units, sub–units. Through supporting all these tasks, it ensures the professional elaboration and preparation of plans, orders, sketches, documents, registries which are necessary for the commanding of operations, battles. The tasking so developed will contribute to the completion of the common primary goal of intelligence carried out through all intelligence/ recce forces and assets, that is: to provide the necessary intelligence data about the enemy and the terrain for ensuring foresight, drawing correct conclusions, and destroying the enemy by fire
