“…The CIS development project will meet with many challenges, especially in smaller countries that do not have a leading position in the world. All the current regulations in the systems of defence of Western countries [1,2] agree with all these claims, as well as the current understanding of the theoreticians from the profession [3,4,5].…”

This paper discusses the development of a command-information system for the needs of the smallcountry defence system forces as their key component. Project management has a great challenge that is reflected in a complex project for the needs of small countries in the 21st century. Command-information systems are considered multipliers of the capabilities of units and as such have special significance for the defence of small states.

“…Similar notions of architecture are prevalent in the study of biology, where the highly‐evolved design of natural systems display a remarkably parallel organization for managing tradeoffs [60,67], for example, signaling mechanisms in biological organisms (e.g., neural networks) [60,68]. Similar ideas can also be found in rules for command and control systems in large‐scale organizations like the military [71]. Important questions for the Networks community are: What are the architectures of systems that produce adaptive networks in the future?…”

“…Park et al [168] operationalize these processes for networked systems using the terms sensing‐anticipating‐adapting‐learning. Seager et al [192], Eisenberg et al [71], and Thomas et al [209] advance these perspectives with greater definition and integration: Observing / orienting / monitoring / sensing : the process of acquiring, apprehending, or accessing information about network operational states and conditions; Deciding / anticipating : the process of using existing or new models to interpret sensed information and decide a course of action; Acting / responding / adapting : the process of taking actions to change network structure or function in response to stress; and Learning : the process of updating and revising sensing, anticipating, and adapting processes to changing conditions. …”

Fifty years of research in Networks coincides with 50 years of advances in resilience theory and applications. The purpose of this review is to identify how these two technical communities influenced each other in the past and can bolster each other in the future. Advances in resilience theory show that there are at least four ways networks demonstrate resilience: robustness, rebound, extensibility, and adaptability. Research published in Networks and by the broader network optimization community has focused primarily on technical methods for robustness and rebound. We review this literature to organize seminal problems and papers on the ability of networks to manage increasing stressors and return to normal activities after a stressful event. In contrast, the Networks community has made less progress addressing issues for network extensibility and adaptability. Extensibility refers to the ability to stretch current operations to surprising situations and adaptability refers to the ability to sustain operations into the future. We discuss ways to harness existing network optimization methods to study these forms of resilience and outline their limitations. We conclude by providing a research agenda that ensures the Networks community remains central to future advances in resilience while being pragmatic about the limitations of network optimization for achieving this task.

“…Running example. Modern military command and control systems are actually systems of systems that incorporate fullyintegrated modular cyber-physical systems such as personal combat displays, unmanned aerial systems and tactical mobility night vision devices to enhance the situational awareness and improve decision-making (Eisenberg et al, 2018). To support the methodology description a military command and control system (Bernardi et al, 2016) is used as a running example..…”
