Before describing the subsystems of military system - before opening the „black box” - , we must place it into its „normal” situation: to the armed combat.

Military system can be play attacker or defender role in the armed combat.

Standard – cybernetics – functional subsystems of military system are:– intelligence,

– command & control,

– executive.

Second Second conclusionconclusionIf we open „black box” of military If we open „black box” of military

system by functional way, its model system by functional way, its model will be unmanageable from point of will be unmanageable from point of

view of R&D. That’s why I open „black view of R&D. That’s why I open „black box” of military system by structural box” of military system by structural

Structural subsystems of military system are:• Organization• Technology• HumanSystem allocates inputs • requirements, • conditions,• influences and• resources from environment among its subsystems, and integrates their attributes and capabilities

for reaching the purpose of system.
