Book excerpt: The air commander's ability to shape and control the battle is just as critical for victory in the air as it is on the ground. The inability of the commander to control his forces in a timely manner will see them defeated by a more flexible opponent. Decision support systems (DSS) are a tool which can aid the commander by giving the overwhelming masses of information a structure for the decision process at hand and by aiding the evaluation of this information. The problem of being inundated by data also applies to electronic combat (EC) assets. The commander's control of a these scarce resources requires a complex assessment of an enemy's air defense system and the determination of how to employ EC assets to gain the best degradation/destruction of those defenses. To develop a DSS to aid the commander, the functions and requirements of the system must be established. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the use of the storyboarding process as a vehicle for the establishment of systems requirements. The DSS focused on for this study was an aid to the Electronic Combat Coordination Officer (ECCO) for the dynamic retasking of airborne EC assets. The adaptive design process was used, therefore only a small core was initially proposed. The remainder of the system would follow as further requirements were generated. Keywords: Theses; Decision theory adaptive control systems; Command and control systems; Systems analysis.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the design of a decision support system (DSS) for the dynamic retasking of air interdiction assets. The study focused on using a decision support methodology to identify system requirements for using the vast amount of information presently available to the Allied Tactical Operations Centers in NATO for the command and control of air interdiction assets. Encompassing an overall framework of concept mapping and feature charts, this study used the Representations, Operations, Memory Aids, and Control Mechanisms approach developed by Sprague and Carlson to design the DSS. By using the DSS design theories, this study produced a statement of requirements for the command and control functions and processes of future aircraft weapon systems and intelligence capabilities. The use of DSS to attempt to solve large, difficult to define problems involving complex internal interactions in rapidly changing environments is one of the major advantages of using the DSS methodology. Defining system requirements cheaply and quickly before weapon systems begin to drive doctrinal procedures and before technology dictates where the tactical advantage should be exploited is yet another important reason for using this DSS methodology.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate a methodology for the ongoing analysis and design of a decision support system (DSS) for retasking decisions made by the fighter duty officer (FDO) in the the Air Support Operations Center (ASOC). The research had five main objectives: (1) Determine through concept mapping and discussions with FDOs from the ASOC, the decision processes that he would make during retasking of Close Air Support (CAS) and Battlefield Air Interdiction (BAI) missions. (2) Establish a central decision process (kernel) that would benefit from a DSS. (3) Translate the initial requirements established through this analysis into a set of screen representations (storyboard) that the FDO can use as an initial retasking DSS. (4) Evaluate the effectiveness of the adaptive design methodology for determining initial requirements, (5) Investigate details of the adaptive design approach within this application that facilitate or hinder the methodology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision Support Systems (DSS) have been identified as a solution to the military commander's needs for information filtering and analysis. Current literature on the theory and techniques of DSS design have been addressed to the decision-making processes of commercial applications. The lack of a comprehensive treatment of military command and control decision-making requirements may result in a number of command and control DSS which are not designed for the reliability and flexibility required in a context of everchanging threats. This thesis is an initial attempt to identify some unique considerations for the design of a command and control decision support system and offers suggestions towards the development of flexible, reliable systems to serve commanders in both peacetime and combat operations.

Book excerpt: This thesis is an application of a methodology being researched at AFIT to define requirements for decision aids. The specific application of interest is Combat Search and Rescue Command and Control at the Joint Rescue Coordination Center. It covers the current status of information management and control in the JRCC and recommends the development of an integrated decision support system. (DSS). Such a system should be designed to aggregate information, provide the user with modeling and 'what if' capability, and present data and model results in a manner which facilitates the decision making process. An adaptive design methodology was used to capture requirements and ensure the design suggested meets JRCC needs. Modifications to the methodology are suggested. The result of this effort may be used as the cornerstone for a Statement Of Need for an automated Decision Support System to aid decision makers in the JRCC. Keywords: Search and rescue, Decision support system, Command and control systems. Theses. (SDW).
