This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research effort focused on the use of Advanced Warfighting Experiments (AWEs) to support acquisition decisions. Specifically, the thesis evaluated the effectiveness of the Army Task Force XXI AWE in providing information to support investment decisions and refinement of requirements for information age technologies. A detailed analysis of the 1997 Operational Test and Evaluation Command (OFTEC) Live Experiment Assessment Report identified program developmental recommendations. Data were collected from appropriate program offices and user representatives to determine the perceived utility of the recommendations and level of implementation. Qualitative data detailing why specific recommendations were or were not implemented were used to determine the contributing factors to a program's ability to benefit from participation in the experiment. Overall, fifty-two percent of the OPTEC recommendations were reported as either fully or mostly implemented. Other potential benefits of AWE participation were identified to include (1) marketing and exposure of program, (2) refinement of user requirements, and (3) information on integration, interfaces, and interoperabilty. Risks from participation in the 4WE included (1) a poor return on investment, (2) potential negative exposure, and (3) extensive changes in requirements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study is to help the Army get the maximum analytic contribution from Advanced Warfighting Experiments (AWEs)-or future similar analysis efforts involving combinations of live, virtual, and constructive simulations. This research extends and demonstrates the framework for credible analysis using Distributed Interactive Simulation (DIS). The "Credible Uses" (CU) framework was one product of previous research documented in Dewar et al. (1996). A key component of the CU approach is that it explicitly links experiments to decisions. In what follows we describe an example of how this framework would be applied, using for concreteness the context of an Advanced Warfighting Experiment (AWE) named Focused Dispatch (FD). The Focused Dispatch and other AWEs are really a series of experiments. Most of the experiments are constructive and virtual. The AWEs, including FD, often culminate in a live training exercise (analysis experiment). Our exemplar analysis was conducted in parallel to the actual analysis done as part of Focused Dispatch. It is notional and addresses only a small portion of the issues being studied in Focused Dispatch. The challenge of Focused Dispatch and other AWEs is that of credible analysis using (a) models that are only weakly predictive of the results that would occur in real combat and (b) data that come from single or rare events. That is, model outcomes are not reliable enough to be considered quantitative predictions of potential real-world outcomes with known uncertainties. AWEs and similar efforts are instrumental to the Army's efforts to support the development of Force XXI. Therefore, the Army will face these challenges repeatedly in the coming years.

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.
