41 Increased reconnaissance and surveillance capability will enable manoeuvre force commanders to concentrate superior combat power at points of decision. 3.31 Enhancement in Degradation Capability. The range, precision and throw-weight of weapon systems have increased substantially and have greatly enhanced the degradation capability of all forces. These weapon systems, coupled with air power, will be used in exploiting gains in battlefield transparency to shape the battlefield. Enhanced precision and stand-off engagement capability, along with transparency sensors, will act as force multipliers. 3.32 Reduced Reaction Time. The time required for passage of information and orders will be reduced due to improved communications and networking. Accordingly, greater emphasis will have to be placed on directive style of command. The use of Command, Control, Communication, Computers, Intelligence, Information, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4I2SR) systems will result in expansion of the battle-space and compression of the time dimension. However, the adverse impacts of ‘information overload’ on the decision-making process of own forces need to be borne in mind and avoided.
