The Mobile Advanced Command and Control Station (MACCS) Experimental Testbed

Abstract

This DURIP equipment grant is in support of MIT's Humans and Automation Laboratory's (HAL) human supervisory control research in the field of futuristic command and control (C2). This grant allowed for the fabrication of a state-of-the-art, mobile, experimental C2 testbed. It is projected that this piece of equipment will be used for a minimum of ten years in command and control decision support experiments which necessitate travel to various locations on the East Coast of the United States and Canada. The use of this new piece of equipment will allow for experimental costs reduction, greater research convenience, outreach efforts, as well as for more reliable and realistic research settings. It will also give access to subject-matter experts and military personnel who otherwise would not be able to take part in our research.
