Who is responsible for mission control assigned to him?

In naval operations, mission control is handled by the Combat Information Center Officer, who acts as the central manager of the battle’s information and decisions. The CIC Officer oversees the integrated picture by coordinating sensor data from radar, sonar, and other sources, managing communications, and directing how assets—air, surface, and subsurface—execute the mission. This central role exists because timely, coordinated decisions depend on a single point of control that has visibility across the whole battlespace. The other roles focus on more specific tasks: the Air Officer runs flight operations, the Tactical Air Officer handles air tactics within the air suite, and the AATCC Officer occupies a specialized command role related to air-defense coordination. None of them provide the same centralized mission-control function that the CIC Officer is designed to deliver.
