Abstract

The enhancement of C2(Command and Control) system will increase effectiveness of individual force power in combat engagement. Especially, available time of a given engaging force and information accuracy are the most influencing factors to increment of combat effectiveness after enhancement of C2 system. In this paper, by using Schutzer's C2 Theory and Measures of Effectiveness, we developed several analytical functions representing the relationships between C2 system enhancement and two most critical variables, available time and information accuracy. As a result of functional analysis, we showed C2 system enhancement and combat effectiveness have positive and non-linear relationship. The higher level of C2 system be required, the better combat effectiveness of force power can be obtained. Additionally, we proposed a proposition that the combat effectiveness of C2 system is more sensitive to available time than to information accuracy, which might be very important issue for further research in this field.
