Coalition Command and Control in the Networked Era A Dynamic Model for Identifying Enemy Collective Behaviour

Recent advances in Command and Control (C2) modelling have developed algorithmic representations of the command decision making process at both the tactical (Rapid Planning) and operational (Deliberate Planning) levels of command. In this paper, the development of methods by which indicators of enemy/group behaviour can be extracted is discussed. The aim of this work is to use the grouping techniques to establish, with more certainty, force size and direction. We describe a multi-agent model approach, based on a hierarchical framework, suitable for identifying indicators of collaborative behaviour associated with enemy agile mission groups that commonly feature in the modern Networked Era.
