Automation strategy and results for an airbase command and control information system

Automation of the information supply for command and control for the preparation and deployment of weapons systems at airbases is discussed. The experiments in the operational environment prove that the use of automation tools with respect to information supply improves the integrity of the information and facilitates mission preparation. Bottlenecks with respect to the vulnerability characteristics of computers must be eliminated to improve the resistance of electronic information system. Automation offers more possibilities to improve the information handling rate, especially the extension of the decision and information handling support; condensation and upgrading of information; and knowledge engineering.
