Abstract

In recent years, with the growth of information and communication technology, humanity has realized the functions of cyberspace in wars. Among these functions, it is mentioned that military organizations use cyberspace capacities in command and control in order to increase situational awareness. Situational awareness is one of the functions of the command and control centers, and the higher the level of this awareness, the more intelligence is provided to the operating forces under the cover of the command and control centers. In this research, several scenarios have been introduced by which the functions of command and control in cyberspace are determined. Commercial software and hardware are used in these scenarios. Finally, a proposed operational model of command and control inspired by the information capacities of cyber space is presented. This research is carried out in a descriptive-analytical way and it comes to the conclusion that due to the expansion of information and communication technology, using the capacity of cyber space leads to the networking of forces and equipment and connecting them to each other, increasing the scope of their operational coverage and implementing coordinated operations. and flexible with maximum situational awareness to meet the needs of the battlefield.
