Abstract
ABSTRACTThe command and control system problem associated with the battle group, an ad hoc assemblage of naval resources, with the mission of achieving a predetermined objective as assigned by higher authority, is discussed. After restatement of the problem, criteria for evaluating system concepts are proposed. Emphasis is placed on combat environments.A concept for development of a battle group command and control system consistent with existing command philosophy and functional partition is presented. The philosophic principle is command by exception in a multi‐hierarchical structure. Functional partition into warfare areas such as ASW, AAW, and ASUW provides the basis for the multiple branches of the hierarchy.Finally, the system criteria are applied to the battle group command and control concept presented herein. The resulting evaluation demonstrates that the conceptual system is readily implementable and can meet battle group operational needs.
