Abstract

Considering that management constitutes one of the most important pieces of the overall military puzzle, this paper discusses various management approaches applied in tactical military networks. Specifically, the paper refers to 3G wireless military management systems, presenting management/control operations, tasks and schemes that can guarantee battlefield supremacy. Also, the paper discusses several issues concerning the migration of current tactical management systems to open, flexible and modular systems, which cover current needs and can be readily adaptable to tomorrow´s changing requirements.
