Architecture of the Advanced Command and Control System

This paper deals with the Advanced Command and Control System (AC2S) which has been developed at University of Defence, Brno, Czech Republic. AC2S represents a new concept of using modern technologies to increase the efficiency of military operations. The first part of the article discusses the architecture of AC2S from the system and communication point of view. The next part presents the concept of the computer support of the decision-making used in AC2S. Tactical Decision Support System (TDDS) as a part of AC2S is introduced. This system is aimed at supporting commanders in their decision-making process on the tactical level via models of military tactics.

I. Introduction

The overwhelming development of modern technologies and computer systems influences the approaches and attitudes to solve problems in many domains. The research in artificial intelligence methods, data and information analysis, knowledge data discovery, and computer support of the decision-making allows to increase the efficiency and productivity.
