This architecture addresses the near-term--what C2 processes could be in the next 4-5 years using current Air Force assets. It first identifies C2 processes and the echelons of command responsible for executing those processes and then describes how enhanced ACS planning, execution, monitoring, and control processes to provide senior leaders with enterprise ACS capability and constraint information. We use this architecture to identify and describe where shortfalls or major gaps exist between current ACS processes (the AS-IS) and this vision for integratined ACS processes into Air Force C2 (the TO-BE).Command and control systemsUnited StatesOperational art (Military science)Command and control systemsOperational art (Military science)355.33041Lynch Kristin F1242793Tripp Robert SYi Jin WooMaletic Amy LRomano Daniel MDrew John GProject Air Force (U.S.)PQKBBOOK9910220116903321An operational architecture for improving Air Force command and control through enhanced agile combat support planning, execution, monitoring, and control processes2882915UNINA
