Description: Since World War II, Human Factors research has paid attention to issues surrounding human control of systems. Command and control environments represent challenging domain for human factors research. This book gives a broad view of command and control research, to include C2 (command and control), C3 (command, control and communication), and C4 (command, control, communication and computers) and human supervisory control paradigms. It presents case studies in diverse military applications (land, sea and air) of command and control. It shows differences and similarities in land, sea and air domains; theoretical and methodological developments, approaches to system and interface design, and workload and situation awareness issues involved. It places role of humans as central and distinct from other aspects of the system. It shows how social and technical domains interact, and why each require equal treatment and importance--Publisher's description.
