This course provides a broad introduction to fundamental principles of Command, Control, Communication, and Intelligence (C3I). The principles and techniques are applicable to a wide range of civilian and military situations. Modeling and simulation of combat operations are discussed. The sensing, fusion, and situation assessment processes are studied in details. Optimal decision making rules are derived. The concepts of C3 architectures are discussed. Tools to evaluate and design C3 systems such as queuing theory are developed. Prerequisite: ECE528 or equivalent.
This course will have homework assignments, a
take-home mid term, a take-home final exam, and a term project. They will constitute 25%, 25%, 25%, and 25%
of the grade, respectively. The homework
that is assigned in a unit is due in two weeks.
Course Materials
There is no
