Better Designs for High-Dimensional Explorations of Distillations

Abstract

Should we attack now or wait three hours for an expected reconnaissance report? If we attack now, how many people might we lose? How should we use information technologies to transform our forces? What mix of heavy and light weapons will be most survivable in 2020? When should command and control be centralized, and when should it be decentralized? These are but a few of the many critical questions that face our military leaders. The massive amount of uncertainty and the dearth of data usually associated with these questions make them difficult to answer. Consequently, decision-makers frequently turn to analysts for information to assist them in making effective choices.
