#43 Tod Schuck on C2 and the C-OODA loop

During this episode, <a href= "https://engineering.rowan.edu/programs/electricalcomputer/faculty_staff/suporting_faculty.html#schuck"> Dr. Tod Schuck</a> of Lockheed Martin discusses Command and Control (C2) and the importance of information maneuverability. Our wide ranging conversation covers Shannon information theory, cybernetics, the evolution of C2, business, the "million dollar microsecond," as well as military applications. We conclude with Schuck’s new formulation of the OODA loop, where he adds an explicit cognitive dimension: the C-OODA loop. <a href= "https://information-professionals.org/episode/cognitive-crucible-episode-43"> Full Show Notes with Resources</a> <p><strong>Guest Bio</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">: </span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://engineering.rowan.edu/programs/electricalcomputer/faculty_staff/suporting_faculty.html#schuck">Dr. Tod Schuck</a> received a B.S. in electrical engineering from Georgia Tech in 1989, an M.S. in electrical engineering from Florida Tech in 1994, and a Ph.D. in systems engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology in 2010 concentrating in knowledge representation in distributed, network-centric systems.
