Patent 7519569 was granted and assigned to Raytheon on April, 2009 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A system, apparatus, and method to dynamically allocate resources provide full connectivity between elements. A common decision execution capability (CDEC) forms a centralized command and control function able to control the elements. The CDEC is adapted to generate virtual chains, each virtual chain a combination of the elements, to achieve an objective. The CDEC can select a virtual chain and either perform the selected virtual chain or generate a plan associated with the virtual chain.
