Overview
Command and control environments continue to represent a challenging domain for human factors research. Modelling Command and Control takes a broad view of command and control research, to include C2 (command and control), C3 (command, control and communication), and C4 (command, control, communication and computers) as well as human supervisory control paradigms. The book presents case studies in diverse military applications (e.g. land, sea and air) of command and control. While the domains of application are very different, many of the challenges they face share interesting similarities.Since its inception, just after the Second World War, human factors research has paid special attention to the issues surrounding human control of systems. Command and control environments continue to represent a challenging domain for human factors research. Modelling Command and Control takes a broad view of command and control research, to include C2 (command and control), C3 (command, control and communication), and C4 (command, control, communication and computers) as well as human supervisory control paradigms. The book presents case studies in diverse military applications (e.g. land, sea and air) of command and control.
Modelling Command and Control explores the differences and similarities in the land, sea and air domains
the theoretical and methodological developments, approaches to system and interface design, and the workload and situation awareness issues involved. The book places the role of humans as central and distinct from other aspects of the system. Using extensive case study material the book demonstrates how the social and technical domains interact, and why eachrequire equal treatment and importance in the future.
