CB-MLC2A—A command and control architecture for unmanned combat SoS

The control of unmanned combat system of systems (SoS) needs fusion centralized control, cluster distribution control and platform autonomous control, because of its distributed, networked and unmanned characteristics. Based on the hierarchical idea and the OODA control loop, this paper proposes a cognitive based multi-level command and control (C2) architecture about unmanned combat SoS (CB-MLC2A), which divides the unmanned combat SoS into four levels control structure. Different levels to achieved independent collaborative control of unattended combat SoS, and designed the interaction relationship between the various levels to satisfaction the control flexibility. Finally, the method of C2 architecture optimization and modeling and analysis of C2 process is discussed.
