Rethinking on the "C4KISR"

The traditional perception of main elements of "C4KISR/C4ISR" cannot represent relationships between computers, communications and the other 5 military elements. A recognition of C4KISR system is proposed from the perspectives of architecture and dynamic information flow, basic and multi-C4KISR architectures are constructed, the dynamic process of information flow is analyzed, and computer and communication efficiency and their impact on the system are focused on. "C4KISR" cannot be regarded as just a command & control system from the perspective of the entire architecture; it is necessary to enhance the synergy of all elements to enhance the efficiency of the system, otherwise weaknesses or blockades of the system may be formed. Above research has important reference for rational construction of "C4KISR".
