This overview explains the Five Functions of the Combat Information Center (CIC): Collection, Processing, Displaying, Evaluation, and Dissemination. Each function plays a vital role in tactical operations, encompassing various data types such as radar, sonar, and intelligence reports. The Collection phase includes visual and electronic means, while Processing involves sorting and appraising data. Displaying focuses on clear visual representation, aiding in quick decisions during Evaluation. Finally, Dissemination ensures critical information reaches decision-makers and operational teams effectively.
