Integrating Scientific Disciplines for Automated Command Support in High-Risk Missions
Abstract
In military operations and emergency management, operators and commanders must rely on distributed and automated systems for safe and effective mission accomplishment. Commanders and other decision makers must manage true real-time system properties at all levels; individual operators, stand-alone technical systems, higher order integrated human-machine systems, and joint operations forces alike. In these high-risk, dynamical circumstances, management and utilization of automated command support can rapidly become an unmanageable endeavor. Coping with automation issues in command and control is a challenge for practitioners and researchers. New results, new measurement techniques, and new methodological advances facilitate a more accurate and deeper understanding, generating new and updated models. This, in turn, generates theoretical advances. This paper reports on research from which the results led to a breakthrough: An integrated approach to information-centered systems analysis to support automation research and development in command and control.
