Application of the modular Command and Control Evaluation Structure to a Strategic Defense Initiative command and control system

Abstract

This thesis will focus on relating a generic evaluation structure, the Modular Command and Control Evaluation Structure (MCES) to the battle management (B\Ml) and command, control and communication (C3) issues of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). To do this, the area of SDI battle management, command and control (C2), and communications will be reviewed and explained as well as the MCES. This will provide useful descriptive analysis required for identifying and measuring proposed BM/C3 architectures.
