Course Description
This course provides a broad introduction
to fundamental principles of C4I. 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 C4
architectures are discussed. Tools to
evaluate and design C4 systems such as queuing theory are developed.
Prerequisite
ECE528 or OR 542
or SYST611, or equivalent.
Course Assignments and
Grading
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 the Unit is due in two weeks.
Course Materials
There is no required text.Supplementary
readings will be assigned from handouts and additional references.
