Abstract
[i]In the era of IT, the high level military decision making process (MDMP) made a lot of progress. The focus is on building a framework capable to offer an effective tool for decisions in the field of force planning and operations planning. The complexity is influenced by the fact that high-level decision making occurs in uncertain environment that affects an extended set of factors (political, military, economic, social, information, infrastructure). The response based on different type of instruments (diplomatic, information, military, economic) should be supported by a new framework, capable to offer the power of selection is given by the limitation of resources. The use of modeling and simulation offer a better understanding of the concepts and solutions for commander’s decision making. The effective way to adopt a flexible, adaptive, and robust solution is totally different from the classic planning and is better focused on the exploitation of the strengths elements of the human creativity and knowledge. New analytical framework will offer also effective instruments in real time, capable to support the optimal decision making.[/i]
