This paper reports the results of a simulation study using Arena on a system resembling a part of the high level supporting structure of a Command and Control Center for military air operations. The system is modeled as a reconfigurable queuing network with servers that are subject to failures and with a human operator unit. The main interest is to understand and quantify the benefits of reconfiguration, and to recommend changes in structural parameters and policies for optimized network performance. An optimal control policy is applied to the main processing unit in C2. The investigation is based on a Markov decision problem with the C2 unit as a closed queuing network; where in the structure of optimal policy is accomplished by means of dynamic programming. The paper presents our modeling effort, and simulation results that compare the C2 system performance.
