The purpose of this proposal is to fund the participation of Professor Michael Henshaw, with his expertise in systems engineering for Network Enabled Capability (NEC), in a new NATO Technical Activity Programme (TAP) on Command and Control (C2) maturity. The need for agility within the multinational forces of NATO is paramount in operations ranging from combat to disaster relief. In particular, the need for effective and agile interoperation with civil authorities is a priority concern. The work of this NATO TAP will lead to improved matching of appropriate C2 to the dynamic complexity of the operational context and the organisations that are responding to it. There are ten nations taking part in the TAP, which is chaired by Dr. David Alberts (of US Dept. Of Defense) who is recognised internationally as a leading thinker in C2 and whose work on Warfare in the Information Age has fundamentally changed the nature of western military operations.NATO has conducted a number of studies in C2 maturity and these have indicated the importance of matching the sophistication of the C2 to the complexity of the operation or event in which it is deployed. Studies of disaster relief, such as the New Orleans floods and Pakistani earthquake of 2005, have revealed significant failings in the relief effort due to the mismatch of the military and civilian C2 and the problems associated with using a sophisticated C2 in the absence of sufficient technology and infrastructure. Furthermore, as the operational situation changes dynamically, the C2 should change correspondingly; an understanding of how it should change is the objective of the TAP.The NATO TAP will not only research requisite C2 maturity, it will transform the research outputs into core documentation and educational materials to enable force transformation.Between Aug06 and Apr09, Prof. Henshaw directed an EPSRC-BAE Systems sponsored research programme in systems engineering (called NECTISE) to support industry's response to the NEC challenge. A model for achieving agility was developed and systems engineering tools and processes needed for more agile systems were created. The outputs were, necessarily, focused on the systems to be developed by industry. The NATO TAP focuses on the military (and civil) decision making and, thus, forms the complementary part of the overall system of interest. Prof. Henshaw's participation in the working group will provide a systems engineering input to the work of the group and enable a better understanding of C2 by the systems engineering community to inform the developments of the future. The high level objectives of participation can, therefore, be summarised as:- dissemination of knowledge and methods developed by the systems engineering community in the areas of complex, dynamic, and agile systems of systems into the C2 community in order to enhance the exploitability of new knowledge within both communities. - extend the impact of the EPSRC-sponsored NECTISE research programme on the international stage- create the opportunity to develop new multi-disciplinary and international research programmes in the area of complex, dynamic systems Success Would Look Like:- Direct application of NECTISE models and other outputs in the SAS-085 Task Group products.- Significant advances in the definition of C2 and requisite C2 maturity- At least two research papers published in high quality systems journals (IJSSE and IEEE Systems Journal) bringing together knowledge from systems engineering and C2.- Improved educational material for military and civilians/industry in the area of C2 for Network Enabled Capability.- Submission of new research proposals in agile, complex systems- Participation of Loughborough University in a lecture series on C2 agility.

该提案的目的是资助 Michael Henshaw 教授以其在网络支持能力 (NEC) 系统工程方面的专业知识参与新的北约指挥与控制 (C2) 成熟度技术活动计划 (TAP)。从战斗到救灾，北约多国部队对敏捷性的需求至关重要。特别是，与民政当局有效和灵活的互操作的需要是一个优先考虑的问题。北约 TAP 的工作将改进适当的 C2 与作战环境和响应组织的动态复杂性的匹配。 TAP 有 10 个国家参加，该组织的主席是 David Alberts 博士（美国国防部），他是国际公认的 C2 领域的领先思想家，他在信息时代战争方面的工作从根本上改变了西方军事行动的性质。北约在 C2 成熟度方面进行了大量研究，这些研究表明了将 C2 的复杂性与其所执行的行动或事件的复杂性相匹配的重要性。 部署。对救灾（例如 2005 年新奥尔良洪水和巴基斯坦地震）的研究表明，由于军事和民用 C2 的不匹配以及在缺乏足够技术和基础设施的情况下使用复杂 C2 的相关问题，救灾工作出现了重大失败。此外，随着运行情况的动态变化，C2也应相应变化； TAP 的目标是了解它应该如何改变。北约 TAP 不仅会研究必要的 C2 成熟度，还将把研究成果转化为核心文档和教育材料，以实现部队转型。2006 年 8 月至 2009 年 4 月，Henshaw 教授指导了 EPSRC-BAE Systems 赞助的系统工程研究项目（称为 NECTISE），以支持行业应对 NEC 挑战。开发了实现敏捷性的模型，并创建了更敏捷系统所需的系统工程工具和流程。产出必然集中于工业界开发的系统。北约 TAP 侧重于军事（和民事）决策，因此形成整个利益系统的补充部分。 Henshaw 教授参与该工作组将为该工作组的工作提供系统工程投入，并使系统工程界更好地理解 C2，从而为未来的发展提供信息。因此，参与的高层次目标可以概括为： - 将系统工程社区在复杂、动态和敏捷的系统系统领域开发的知识和方法传播到 C2 社区，以增强两个社区内新知识的可利用性。 - 扩大 EPSRC 资助的 NECTISE 研究计划在国际舞台上的影响 - 创造机会在复杂、动态系统领域开发新的多学科和国际研究计划 成功的样子： - 在 SAS-085 任务组产品中直接应用 NECTISE 模型和其他成果。 - C2 定义和必要的 C2 成熟度方面取得重大进展 - 至少在高质量系统期刊（IJSSE 和 IJSSE）上发表两篇研究论文 IEEE 系统杂志）汇集了系统工程和 C2 的知识。- 改进了网络支持能力 C2 领域的军事和民用/工业教育材料。- 提交敏捷、复杂系统的新研究提案- 拉夫堡大学参加关于 C2 敏捷性的系列讲座。
