Cultural Modeling of Command and Control Echelons
Abstract
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) funded Micro Analysis and Design (MA&D) to address the needs of the Cultural Modeling of Command and Control (CMC2) project from September 2001 to April 2004. Specifically, the technical effort consisted of three primary objectives as follows: 1)Investigate cultural factors and add cultural modeling capabilities to an existing human performance modeling tool to allow users to easily inject cultural effects into a human performance model; 2)Create a client-server architecture between the Human Performance Model (HPM) tool and a constructive simulation using High Level Architecture (HLA) and Direct Shared Memory (DSM) to allow entities to receive higher fidelity behavioral representation from an external simulation tool; 3)Develop a model of an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) for two different cultures to demonstrate the functionality of the enhanced HPM tool as well as the interaction of the HPM with a constructive simulation operating in a client-server environment. Two existing technologies were selected for this effort: the Combat Automation Requirements Testbed (CART) and the Joint Integrated Mission Model (JIMM). CART was chosen as the human performance modeling tool to be upgraded with cultural modeling capabilities and was modified to communicate using a client-server architecture via HLA and DSM. JIMM was selected as the constructive simulation to link with the enhanced CART HPM tool to enable it to receive higher fidelity human performance representations. The end product of the CMC2 effort is a toolkit capable of performing cultural modeling within an HPM tool and benefiting from the many advantages of a stand-alone HPM operating through a client-server architecture.
