Sistemas de comando e controle na Guerra Naval: análise comparativa da Batalha de Midway e do incidente do Voo 655 da Iran Air

Abstract

This paper investigates and compares the Command and Control (C²) systems utilized during the Battle of Midway and the incident involving Iran Air Flight 655. It examines how these systems influenced strategic decisions and outcomes, focusing on doctrinal, technological, and human factors. The research emphasizes the balance between advanced technologies and human judgment. In Midway, coordinated intelligence and leadership led to a strategic victory for the United States. Conversely, the Flight 655 incident highlighted critical issues such as over-reliance on automated systems and communication failures, resulting in tragedy. The analysis underscores the necessity of intuitive systems, adequate training, and clear communication for the effectiveness of C² systems. The insights drawn from these events are vital for enhancing control systems in modern military operations.
