Abstract

In modern warfare, tactical mobility and environment uncertainty place critical decisions at battalion and below levels. However, the introduction of digital systems (vehicles, soldiers, UAV) enables optimised or new capabilities by taking advantage of informational services. The Phoenix Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E) lifecycle explores new operational concepts using rapid system prototyping at the tactical level. Following Phoenix´07 edition [Desbois & al 2008], Phoenix´08 experiments an information support cell (ISC) and a decision support cell (DSC) to support company command.
