With the emphatic shift towards information superiority as a military doctrine in the US and Europe, effective military operations are becoming increasingly important in realising national objectives.
Today missions are more and more likely to be joint or coalition based and the ability for militaries to share information, plans and control is essential to an operation’s success. Mission Planning and Mission Management is a growing field of interest. The design of an operation and its ability to achieve its objective is key to an operations success and therefore a primary concern to the military.
