Experimental Evaluation of Concepts for Miqsture; An Online Interactive Language for Tactical Intelligence Processing

Abstract

A project was undertaken to evaluate selected aspects of an online language for Army tactical intelligence processing called MIQSTURE. In the first of two experiments reported here, U.S. Army tactical intelligence officers provided expert judgments on work-related and information utilization aspects of descriptions of selected tasks from Army tactical intelligence processing. The results provided indications of what query methods have potentials as aids for intelligence analysts. In the second experiment, an evaluation was made of the efficacy of a familiarization/refresher display arrangement for developing and maintaining a useful level of user/operator familiarity with little-used but essential elements of the interactive language. The results were promising for the display arrangement.
