Abstract:
Challenges to the global power balance leading to the possibility of peer warfare and technological advances enabling autonomous and swarming-capable vehicles performing increasingly complex operations in contested environments have prompted a stringent need towards more agile and resilient Defence doctrines. On the other hand, Disaster Response efforts also require a more versatile and robust Command and Control (C2) approach in the context of increasing intensity and frequency of natural disasters triggered by climate change. The efforts towards addressing these C2 challenges typically consider the required aspects in isolation, although more often than not they are closely related and as such, changes to one C2 aspect may have unintended effects on the others. Therefore, a holistic approach is required considering the overall effects of the envisaged transformation, so as to maintain the consistency of the C2 evolution effort. This paper proposes such an integrated method that emp
loys Enterprise Architecture modelling artefacts facilitating an overarching approach towards more agile and resilient C2 evolution. A case study is employed to illustrate the concepts proposed and further analyse the relation between the changed warfare and disaster response paradigms and more agile and resilient C2 approaches.
