Using Planyst in support of command and control

The command and control reference model is a layered structure interacting with the environment through four physical ports: communications, sensing/monitoring, infliction and transportation. An object oriented stochastic C2 graph architecture has been developed to model the combat and C2 dynamics of the associated processes within different layers. The latter structure must interact with a tool which models communications networks in a hierarchical layered fashion. The Planyst program has been developed by IRI Computer Communications Corporation to serve as such a tool. Its features are described
