Exploring Command and Control Concepts for an Integrated Effect Coordination Cell using an Enhanced Tabletop Experimentation Approach: Report on the Integrated Effects Coordination Cell Exploratory Experiment (IECCEX)

Abstract

The first exploratory experiment of the Joint Fire Support (JFS) Technology Demonstration Project (TDP), namely the Integrated Effects Coordination Cell Exploratory Experiment (IECCEX), was conducted by the Canadian Forces Experimentation Center (CFEC) Effective Engagement Team (EET) and JFS TDP in the Joint Concept Laboratory and Training Center (JCLTC) located in CFEC, from 14th to 18th May 2007. The main objective of this experiment was to explore various Integrated Effects Coordination Cell (IECC) manning, process flow and control models in order to facilitate the identification of an appropriate model that best suits the requirements of providing optimal Integrated Effects (IE). In addition to the overall objective the scientific staff also gained valuable insight into: information requirements for each option; situational awareness requirements for each option; and areas best suited for automation. This report documents the approach used to conduct this experiment and captures the findings and lessons learned.
