Toward a Unified Approach to Combat System Analysis

Abstract

Two obstacles to modeling large-scale man-machine systems are addressed. They are system decomposition and human decision modeling. An existing decomposition method, IDEF, is discussed and recommendations for supplementing the method are suggested. Extant approaches to human decision modeling are briefly reviewed. The SHOR paradigm of tactical decisionmaking is presented and an example of how to use the SHOR framework for structuring the decisionmaking activity of an antisubmarine warfare commander is given.
