The progress of science and technology in various fields, including the command and control system, has led to the improvement of the combat power of the forces. New systems are able to directly transfer information between components and avoid wasting time in the traditional structure. The current research was carried out with the aim of compiling the cyber command and control architecture in combat and is of an applied-developmental type. The statistical sample of the research is 60 experts and professors in the fields related to command and control and cyber, which were selected by simple random method and Cochran's formula. In this research, information and data have been collected from library sources, questionnaires and interviews. After the information was collected, it was classified and evaluated, and then a descriptive analysis was performed with a qualitative approach. In the quantitative stage, mixed analysis has been done using inferential statistics. The validity and reliability of the tools for collecting information and data have been checked in research using interviews, documents and questionnaires, and methods such as appropriate distribution of questions and comparison of answers have been used to verify the validity and reliability of these tools, and its reliability with the method Cronbach's alpha (0.995) has been obtained. The architecture presented in this research, using the cycle of observation, evaluation, decision and execution in interaction with the 4 dimensions of operations, battle levels, communication networks and technology, emphasizes to improve and upgrade cyber command and control in combat in the face of challenges. A way to enable joint operations between land, defense, naval and air arrays with a single combat formation.
