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
required text.� Supplementary readings
will be assigned from handouts and additional references.
