Evaluating Unmanned Systems' Command and Control Technologies under Realistic Assumptions
Abstract
The Department of Defense's future vision for Network Centric Operations (NCO) will increase combat power by networking relevant entities across the battlefield. This will result in highly complex mission scenarios in which the operator's workload will be easily overloaded if the system is not designed to support the mission requirements. New technologies for these complex command and control environments are currently being developed. However, little has been done to evaluate the adequacy of a particular technology for specific sets of mission requirements. There is neither a standard methodology to evaluate these new technologies, nor a research environment to test them under realistic assumptions. This paper will introduce a new approach to evaluate these technologies and determine whether they can transition into practical applications for the Navy, and under what limitations. The presentation includes briefing charts.
