Augmentation of the Naval Task Force Decision Aiding System: The Outcome Calculator.

Abstract

This report describes research on augmenting the task force decision-aiding system with an innovative and efficient outcome calculator to assist a task force commander (TFC) in obtaining outcome estimates for various possible sequences of decisions and events. The research was limited to the naval air-strike warfare area and the necessary associated consideration for air defense. The research characterizes the relationships between the outcome calculator (OC) and the other components of the decision-aiding system. The report includes definitions of the inputs and outputs required for the OC and the form of communications required between the OC and the TFC. Candidate outcome calculators were examined, and a new outcome calculator was constructed to meet the identified function, requirements, and constraints posed for the OC. (Author)
