Abstract
     This paper presents an empirical study of two alternative models for the Command-and-Control of a number of beyond line-of-sight weapons platforms using agent-based modelling based on cellular automata. These two models are used to investigate potential applications for optimisation algorithms embedded within simulations. Using these algorithms, the effect of distributed and collective control of the weapons platforms in these models is explored. Results of multiple runs of the simulator are analysed statistically to provide insight into the relative benefits and limitations of each model.
