Abstract :
This paper presents a prototype simulation software system that provides support for centralized command and control in naval surface warfare. To build this prototype, we have designed the modes of operation for the system and developed algorithms for its execution. These algorithms include intercepting an enemy target platform and planning an escape route. A graphical user interface with easy-to-use options facilitates the interaction with the computer by navy commanders and tactical action officers. The paper provides background information on naval surface warfare, describes the main elements of the prototype´s operational capabilities, and details the system´s interface and modes of operation.
