Approach to Modeling the Distribution of the Message Service Times for the Fire Support Team Experiment.

Abstract

The first experiment interfacing military personnel with the Artillery Control Environment (ACE) software was conducted 8 May - 10 June 83. This experiment demonstrated the feasibility of using the automated techniques of the Command Post Exercise Research Facility (CPXRF), located at the Human Engineering Laboratory (HEL), for fire support control experiments. The distribution of message service times was selected as one of the measures of performance (MOP) used to quantify the effects of message intensity and communication degradation on the Fire Support Team's Headquarters' (FIST HQ) ability to perform fire support coordination. This report discusses the approach, verification, and preliminary results of modeling the distribution of FIST HQ service times of fire request (FR) messages and artillery target intelligence (ATI) messages. Originator-supplied keywords: chi-square test; Exponential distribution; Kolomogorov- Smirnov test; Three-parameter Weibull Distribution.
