This paper endeavours to identify systems methodology that could prove useful in the creation and operation of military systems-of-systems. The paper opens with a review of basic systems thinking and proposes a military systems hierarchy that is useful in characterising military systems on the basis of their behaviour and the relevant disciplines with which each can be brought to bear. We then ...
