HODICKÝ, Jan; FRANTIŠ, Petr. Using Simulation for prediction of units in case of communication failure. World Academy of Science Engineering and Technology, 2011, vol. 7, no. 79, p. 322-324. ISSN 2010-376X.
Abstract: Command and Control (C2) system and its interfacethe Common Operational Picture (COP) are main means that supports commander in its decision making process. COP contains information about friendly and enemy unit positions. The friendly position is gathered via tactical network. In the case of tactical network failure the information about units are not available. The tactical simulator can be used as a tool that is capable to predict movements of units in respect of terrain features. Article deals with an experiment that was based on Czech C2 system that is in the case of connectivity lost fed by VR Forces simulator. Article analyzes maximum time interval in which the position created by simulator is still usable and truthful for commander in real time.
