New Metrics and MOEs for Unmanned, Distributed Forces

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: (1) Existing models focus on attrition and can not adequately represent proposed Information Age combat processes. (2) Three views of a Distributed Networked System: * Structure -- What are the links, nodes, boundaries and rules for connection? * Dynamics -- Do actual or potential networked effects exist? * Evolution -- What trajectories do the descriptive characteristics take? Do they converge, diverge or cycle? (3) These three perspectives are used to create the Information Age Combat Model.
