This document discusses Boyd's OODA (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) loop model for command and control (C2) architectures. It compares OODA to other models like SHOR, Rasmussen's three-level model, and Klein's RPDM model. The authors note some shortcomings of OODA and propose re-engineering it using techniques like SADT and UML to address these issues. They plan to implement a demonstrator and further validate the re-engineered OODA model through additional analysis, testing, and papers.
