PERSUADE: Modeling Framework for the Design of Modular Army Organizations

Abstract

In this paper, we present innovative approaches and algorithms for the design of Command and Control (C2) structures, mission planning, and course of action development. These models are integrated into the PERsonnel-based Unit of Action Design Environment (PERSUADE). PERSUADE converts a textual description of mission and a graphical representation of an organization into quantitative models, and through optimization algorithms (Levchuk et al., 2002, 2004) validated in several empirical studies (Kleinman et al., 2003; Levchuk et al., 2003; Entin et al., 2003; Diedrich et al., 2003) will help the commanders at various echelons to synthesize command and control organizations tailored for a specific mission set. Our studies show that organizations designed using the PERSUADE methodology outperform their traditionally designed counterparts.
