Abstract

Command and Control (C2) systems are complex systems composed of personnel, technical equipment, organizational structures, and work procedures. This complexity increases the difficulties involved in developing such systems, which in turn leads to a need for supportive development measures. This paper presents and explores an agile, lightweight, architecture framework for the development of C2 systems. The architecture framework prescribes a model‐driven process for structuring the developed models into various levels and views. This facilitates the developers' ability to consider the C2 system from a holistic and concurrent perspective. By applying the architecture framework, both the C2 system and its context are modeled in order to study how the C2 system should be used to support the performance of operational activities, and what support the technical system should provide to the commanders, who are a part of the C2 system. The architecture framework provides traceability from the operational level to the technical systems via the C2 systems. The architecture framework was iteratively developed and evaluated in three sequential case studies. The outcome shows that the framework supports the initial steps in the development of complex systems, such as C2 systems. However, further development and evaluations of the architecture framework are necessary. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng
