Tools for Battle Management in the Tactical Air Operations Centre

Abstract

This report describes some of the functions that individuals within the Tactical Air Operations Centre (TAOC) may perform, and proposes software tools that may assist with battle management duties. In particular, we focus on the NORTHROC Operations Officer (NOPSO). We begin with a brief description of the TAOC environment and the duties of the NOPSO, followed by observations and interviews from Air Exercise Pitch Black 2000. The results of the analysis provide a basis for proposing various tools, which are described in terms of their function, advantages, disadvantages, feasibility and research interest. Finally, a particular set of tools is suggested for further development.
