SOME TECHNIQUES TO HELP IMPROVE METHODS FOR EXERCISING AND EVALUATING COMMAND AND EVALUATING COMMAND AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

Abstract

Four techniques are described to improve methods for exercising and evaluating command and control systems: (1) exercise flow diagram (generalizes and extends the techniques of flow charting for use in exercising); (2) resource assignment model (uses techniques of mathematical logic to describe the information processing in the command and control system); (3) expected utility model (uses techniques drawn from decision theory to describe decision making in a command and control system; and (4) finite automaton model (uses techniques from the theory of finite automata to describe the relationships between a command and control system and the system exercising it).
