Studies on information mechanics

Thumbnail
Abstract
Related issues connected with the transmission of information in a command and control environment
 
are modelled and analyzed theoretically. These include search in an area rich in false targets, and
 
surveillance. In addition, the mechanics are considered of the transmission of information from the
 
field to the command level with particular emphasis on the use of redundant, fallible communication
 
channels. A key connecting theme in the analyses is the concept of entropy and its role as a measure
 
of the effectiveness of information transmission and the actions initiated upon receipt of information. The final chapters analyze simple message transmission systems with priority with particular
 
reference to the considerations necessary to mitigate the potential damage caused by the misuse of
 
priority to information transmitted at a lower, or non-priority level. Much of the analysis is either new,
 
or an application of known work to new issues. The objective is to establish a theoretical framework
 
for the study and improvement of command and control procedures in the widest context, including
 
the interpretation of field data and the design of trials and experiments.
