Repetitive Use of Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) for Investigation of Headquarters Effectiveness
Abstract
This thesis is a discussion of the Headquarters Evaluation Assessment Tool (HEAT), Command, Control and Communications (C3), and the Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS) wargame. The discussion is based upon a history of past environments and present such as a series of experiments conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School in August and September 1987 and the experiment analysis conducted by government contractors and NPS students. Using background material, research documents and analysis reports from government agencies and contractors, this thesis reports on one particular experiment focusing on a comprehensive review. By this, the author hopes to stimulate interest in experimentation and analysis of C3 processes as a means of developing C3 principles. HEAT's purpose is to enable a team of internal or external observers to objectively assess and quantify headquarters performance and effectiveness. It was developed to provide quantitative, objective, and reproducible scores which would, in essence, be descriptive of the effectiveness of virtually any headquarters or command, control, communications and intelligence system. Keywords: Theses; Scenarios; Experimental design; Computer programs.
