A Unified command and control architecture for improved visualization and decision-making on surface combatants
U.S. Navy organizations have implemented disparate Command and Control (C2) visualization methods for each surface combatant platform class. As a result, information uncertainty is introduced and the overall decision making process is impeded for the mission. A common architecture could resolve some...
