national security implications of the Information Age.
Focusing upon improving both the state of the art and
the state of the practice of command and control, the

effectiveness and efficiency of assigned missions. An
important aspect of the CCRP program is its ability to
serve as a bridge between the operational, technical,
analytical, and educational communities. The CCRP
provides leadership for the command and control
research community by:

This is a continuation in the series of publications
produced by the Center for Advanced Concepts and
Technology (ACT), which was created as a “skunk
works” with funding provided by the CCRP under
the auspices of the Assistant Secretary of Defense
(C3I). This program has demonstrated the
importance of having a research program focused
on the national security implications of the
Information Age. It develops the theoretical
foundations to provide DoD with information
superiority and highlights the importance of active
outreach and dissemination initiatives designed to
acquaint senior military personnel and civilians with
these emerging issues. The CCRP Publication Series
is a key element of this effort.
