Establishing Human Performance (Decision Making) and Natural Environment Consistency Across Integrated Naval Simulations

Abstract

The performance of military systems (platforms, sensors and weapons) for real world operations is affected by both natural environment conditions and human performance. As shown in an earlier presentation (MORSS 71) human performance (decision making) is linked directly to the scenario environment conditions, present and past. As the Navy moves to increased automation on board ships, the software developed must incorporate the interaction of human performance (decision making) and the scenario environment conditions. The Systems Engineering Concept Model (SECM) is being used in several Navy programs to capture and analyze all relevant entities, their attributes and their interactions in a defined military scenario, first from the real world view and then from the software perspective. The process can be used to capture the functional requirements that insure the relevant interactions between the decision making and the scenario environment conditions are identified.
