Information Support for Operational Decision Aids.
Abstract
This report describes the dynamic nature of many of the information requirements of operational decision aids designed for Naval task force commanders. The methods for storing and maintaining track and readiness information are described. The dependence of performance, effectiveness and reliability parameters of military systems on environmental and tactical situation variables are examined. This information can be maintained in the data base as nominal values, tables or computer programs. Nominal values are adequate when the variations are small enough to ignore, tables are used when a small number of values is sufficient to express the variability and computer programs are required when there are many factors or wide variability. Models were examined and sensitivity analyses performed to determine the best way to provide this information to an operational command and control data base. (Author)
