Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army is transforming itself into a lighter, modular and more rapidly deployable force. The new Army will be capable of adjusting to a changing set of missions, ranging from warfighting to peacekeeping, as requirements dictate. Desired operational capabilities will be achieved via evolution to a System of Systems (SOS) utilizing mobile-networked command, control, communication and computer (C4) functionalities. The SOS functions include: autonomous robotic systems, precision direct and indirect fires, airborne and ground organic sensor platforms, and adverse-weather reconnaissance, surveillance, targeting and acquisition. Using modeling, simulation and experimentation will facilitate this evolution to this design. The primary focus of this paper is to provide an overview of CERDEC s Future Battle Command prototype, the Mobile Command and Control (MC2) system: its capabilities and how it is supporting Future Force M & S, experimentation and training.
Download or read book Prototype Automated Measures of Command and Staff Performance written by Wiliam T. Holden, Jr. and published by . This book was released on 2001-11-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research and development effort continues the work by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (AM), Armored Forces Research Unit, Future Battlefield Conditions Team. It focuses on the design and development of automated training and performance evaluation techniques. A primary context for these efforts is digital brigade and below training requirements and environments. For this project, AM's objective was to design, develop, and demonstrate 20 prototype automated measures to improve training and evaluation for brigade and below command and staff performance. The prototype automated measures developed were implemented during the Future Combat Command and Control (FCC2) Concept Experimentation Program experiment conducted by the Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab (MMBL) at Fort Knox, Kentucky. The AM's purpose for participating in this experiment was to support the MMBL and the Army's need to gain additional information on future staff evaluation requirements in a virtual simulation environment, and gather feedback for improvements to the prototype automated measures developed during this effort.

Book excerpt: The anticipated ability of the Future Force to See First requires proactive research to transform the emerging concepts of embedded training and networked sensors into assets. This report documents initial research on an innovative training program to provide small unit commanders the tactical and technical skills needed to exploit networked sensors to meet the See First objective. The research addressed three areas: design of a prototype embedded training program on networked sensors, design of a subset of training exercises for the training program, and development of those exercises in a prototype command and control (C2) system compatible with virtual simulation. Design and development stressed a structured training approach with progressive simulation-based exercises. A representative subset of 20 exercises were developed that focused on exploiting an array of networked sensors on unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) to support the commander's critical information requirements. Results provide lessons learned on technology dependent training that will be used to refine and extend the prototype training on employing networked sensors, and that may apply to the Army's ongoing effort to develop embedded training for the Future Force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the design, development, and implementation of refinements to a prototype staff training package for future forces. These training refinements were made to a prototype staff training package described in the report Prototype Staff Training and Evaluation Methods for Future Forces, Throne et al., 1999. The training refinements were implemented in a simulation- based experiment examining the impact of digital systems on Future Battle Command at the battalion and brigade level. This report focuses on the training support package designed to improve performance of staffs using advanced command, control, communications, computer, and intelligence (C4I) systems. Documentation is provided on the analysis, design and development of four staff training products developed under this effort: a Surrogate Command, Control, Communications, and Computers (SC4) System Demonstration, Digital Staff Drills, Team Training Sessions (TTSs) and TTSs Trainer Guide, and refinements to Tactical Decision-Making Exercises (TDXs). The formative evaluation is described for those products with survey results and project team Observations reported by product type. Lessons learned on future staff training are documented and may help direct the Army's effort to develop command and staff training support packages (TSPs) for future forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's ongoing transformation to Future Combat Systems (FCS) requires an unprecedented alliance of humans and machines. Creating an alliance that actually improves, and does not impede, battle command is a human systems integration challenge for FCS and particularly the area of command and control (C2). To address that challenge, the FCS C2 program is investigating future battle command concepts at the small unit level. The FCS C2 effort, led by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Communications Electronics and Engineering Command (CECOM) with a focus on human performance by the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI), included a series of four command group-in-the-loop experiments from October 2001 to March 2003. This report provides exemplar research methods and findings on human performance from Experiment 3. The human performance findings reported are based on subjective measures and highly detailed objective measures of the command group's verbal and human-computer interactions. Interim conclusions are provided on the following topics: workload, training, automated measures, and human-system integration. In closing, a brief set of sustain and improve recommendations are provided for future research efforts. A companion report provides a more comprehensive assessment of future command group performance across FCS C2 Experiments IA (Lickteig, Sanders, Durlach, Lussier, & Carnahan, In Preparation).

This book was released on 2004-12-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense is in the process of transforming the nation's armed forces to meet the military challenges of the 21st century. Currently, the opportunity exists to carry out experiments at individual and joint service levels to facilitate this transformation. Experimentation, which involves a spectrum of activities including analyses, war games, modeling and simulation, small focused experiments, and large field events among other things, provides the means to enhance naval and joint force development. To assist the Navy in this effort, the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) asked the National Research Council (NRC) to conduct a study to examine the role of experimentation in building future naval forces to operate in the joint environment. The NRC formed the Committee for the Role of Experimentation in Building Future Naval Forces to perform the study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the use of digital information systems and automated measures of human performance to improve staff training and performance assessment. This work began with a review of research literature and technical documentation related to team performance and assessment, operations in digital environments, and automated performance data collection. A general design for staff performance assessment was formulated, based on findings of the literature review. An opportunity to implement this design was provided by an Army Concept Experimentation Program (CEP), the Battle Command Reengineering (BCR) IV, which took place in April 2000. By participating in the BCR IV, researchers had the opportunity to conduct a trial implementation of the automated measures of performance assessment Coordination between the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Mounted Maneuver Battlespace Lab (MMBL) at Fort Knox, Kentucky, enabled the two organizations to work together as a team to accomplish multiple goals. This report describes the development of prototype automated measures, the results of their use during the BCR IV, and lessons learned for future staff performance assessment efforts.
