Abstract

The requirement to construct large systems involving both men and computers to assist in the evaluational and decision making processes of command and control leads very quickly to the development of large and complex computer programs. While my own efforts have been largely devoted to the development of detailed computer simulations of strategic air warfare, I have had an opportunity to follow in more or less detail the progress on a few of the command and control systems. The observations which are made here relate to a broad class of computer data systems and certainly apply to the ones evolving in the command and control area.
