The command and control environmental analyizies in the area of aerospace defence, from opportunities and challenges perspective

Command and control centers play a vital role in navigation and guidance of aerospace defense systems. Regarding the increasing trend of threats and changing the nature of the classic war, we will need to make arrangements to strengthen and resolve the vulnerabilities of these systems. In this study, the main objectives of the research are to explain the effective factors on the future of command and control in the field of aerospace defense. This research has been conducted in descriptive and mixed method. The statistical population of the research in the qualitative part consists of 20 aerospace experts, which were selected using Snowball method. In the quantitative section, 65 of the managers and officials of this area were selected objectivly as sample size and data collection was performed using a questionnaire with Likert spectrum and analized . The results of this research indicate that the amount of threats (4.52) exceeds opportunities (4.27) in foreign factors. The finding also suggests that, in the internal measures, weaknesses (3.29) are more than strong points (3.05) that will help to designe strategis for achiving ideale point. Also, according to the identified weaknesses and threats, five major challenges were identified, and finally, suggestions for overcoming these challenges were presented using opportunities and strengths.
