Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Assessing Command and Control Effectiveness: Dealing with a Changing World offers a description of the current state of Command and Control (C2) research in imperfect settings, showing how a research process should assess, analyse and communicate results to the development cycle of methods, work, manning and C2-technology. Special attention is given to the development of C2 research methods to meet the current and coming needs. The authors also look forward towards a future where effective assessment of C2 abilities are even more crucial, for instance in agile organisations. The purpose of the C2 research is to improve the process and make it more effective while still saving time and money. Research methods have to be chosen carefully to be effective and simple, yet provide results of high quality. The methodological concerns are a major consideration when working under such circumstances. Furthermore, there is often a need for a swift iterative development cycle, and thus a demand to quickly deliver results from the research process. This book explains how field research experimentation can be quick, simple and effective, being able to draw valid conclusions even when sample sizes are small and resources are limited, collecting empirical data using measures and procedures that are minimally intrusive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A methodology for assessing the effectiveness of command, control, and communications systems is extended to include timeliness. The assessment is based on comparing the properties of the system to the mission requirements when both are expressed as loci in a commensurate space of measures of performance. The methodololgy for evaluating measures of effectiveness is illustrated through application to an idealized fire support system. (Reprints).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents approaches for assessing the impact of information technology on command & control. The determination of the contribution of command, control, communications, & intelligence (C3I) systems to the effectiveness of military missions has proven to be a complex problem, given the depth & breadth of military organizations and the wide range of their operations. The evaluation of C3I systems necessitates the application of a framework & a methodology to yield appropriate measures of merit. Since single measure or methodology exists that satisfactorily assesses the overall effectiveness of command & control systems, a multi-method, multi-phase approach is necessary. This report defines hierarchies of measures, presents example frameworks & structures for merit assessments, and discusses factors relevant to & affecting these assessments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides an overview of the Army Command and Control Evaluation System (ACCES) theory and methodology. ACCES was initially developed by Defense Systems, Inc. (DSI) in the period October 1986 to January 1990 under the direction of the Fort Leavenworth, KS, Research Unit of the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI). In the spring of 1990, ARI awarded two follow-up contracts: one to Quantum Research International (QRI) for support in conducting ACCES applications and the second to Evidence Based Research, Inc. (EBR) for specific required enhancements to the ACCES system. Both contracts expired near the end of 1993. This report provides a description of ACCES Version 93 and is current as of the end of December 1993. No further modification of ACCES methodology is planned at this time."--DTIC.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military and Naval Operations are a complex set of activities involving organizations of people and equipment in conflict with another such organization. Analysis of the overall effectiveness of the opposing forces is a difficult task. Part of the problem is the enormous complexity of the interaction. Another difficult is the lack of means to evaluate the contribution of Command and Control (C2) to the eventual outcome. Descriptions of large scale complex systems are very difficult to derive because of the many levels and frames of reference required for understanding. These many levels are necessary because of the nature of the problem and because we are limited in our ability to comprehend more than a few aspects of a problem at the same time. The concepts being presented here will not make the problem simple, but some simple tools will be provided, which, when applied consistently, can be used to gain insight into the problem and, when applied repetitively, iteratively, or recursively, can be used to describe a complex system in more manageable terms. The insights are based on common sense and well-known ideas, but this presentation provides a framework of conventions to clarify relationships and identify similarities and differences among a few fundamental concepts about the nature of systems. The role of decision making in systems is also stated in a way that can be applied to all aspects of the problem.

Download or read book Assessing the U S Army s Combat Vehicle Command and Control System at the Battalion Level written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Army is presently conducting evaluations of the Combat Vehicle Command and Control (CVC2) system. The CVC2 system is being developed to assist battalion level commanders and below with their command and control functions. Current evaluations of the system have been focused at the platoon and company levels. This thesis proposes that the greatest benefit of the automated system will be to support battalion level command and control functions. This paper provides; a description of the CVC2 system and the functions it is designed to perform, a description of the process and system used by combat battalions to execute C2, identification of the information requirements of a commander, proposed measures of performance (MOP's), measures of effectiveness (MOE's) and measures of force effectiveness (MOFE's) to be used to evaluate the CVC2 system at battalion level. An evaluation methodology is proposed and areas of concern relating to the implementation of the system are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamental to military systems assessments and assessment models is the postulation that there are military capability requirements that can be achieved or improved by some military systems either better or worse than other military systems in accordance with some predetermined criteria and/or economic preferences. In order to be meaningful to the decision maker combat effectiveness evaluations must include assessment of the information- intelligence-command-control couple. The author develops and presents four theses addressing the surveillance-reaction operations wherein the I-I-C-C is simulated and linked into the overall ground combat system. The system example is the Army organizations.

Download or read book Command Control and Communications Techniques for the Reliable Assessment of Concept Execution C3TRACE Modeling Environment The Tool written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Research Laboratory's Human Research and Engineering Directorate has relied on the use of human performance models to assess the effectiveness of command and control (C2) organizational designs for nearly a decade. This work was based on task network modeling in various versions of MicroSaint (developed by Micro Analysis and Design) as the key methodology. The models have been based on representations of C2 tasks and functions performed by a group of people engaged in various military missions, within conceptual and actual military organizational designs, and using various types of communication and information technologies. These organizations have ranged in size from battalion to brigade level, with the inclusion of message flow from companies to a division staff. This report briefly describes these MicroSaint models and how they led to the development of a modeling environment called command, control, and communications - techniques for the reliable assessment of concept execution (C3TRACE). Thus, models can be rapidly constructed with C3TRACE to analyze multiple organizational, personnel, and systems architectures as they emerge through concept exploration for the Army Future Force.
Download or read book The World Wide Military Command and Control System evolution and effectiveness written by David Eric Pearson and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2000 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps the best single way to summarize it is to view the book as a bureaucratic or organizational history. What the author does is to take three distinct historical themes-organization, technology, and ideology and examine how each contributed to the development of WWMCCS and its ability (and frequent inability) to satisfy the demands of national leadership. Whereas earlier works were primarily descriptive, cataloguing the command and control assets then in place or under development, The book offers more analysis by focusing on the issue of how and why WWMCCS developed the way it did. While at first glance less provocative, this approach is potentially more useful for defense decision makers dealing with complex human and technological systems in the post-cold-war era. It also makes for a better story and, I trust, a more interesting read. By necessity, this work is selective. The elements of WWMCCS are so numerous, and the parameters of the system potentially so expansive, that a full treatment is impossible within the compass of a single volume. Indeed, a full treatment of even a single WWMCCS asset or subsystem-the Defense Satellite Communications System, Extremely Low Frequency Communications, the National Military Command System, to name but a few-could itself constitute a substantial work. In its broadest conceptualization, WWMCCS is the world, and my approach has been to deal with the head of the octopus rather than its myriad tentacles.
