Artillery Control Environment: An experimental Tool,

Abstract

The Army is fielding a new digital communications system, the TACFIRE system. In order to investigate the command, control, and communications issues associated with the new devices, the Artillery Control Environment (ACE) was developed. ACE is a real-time, multiplayer, interactive simulation system run on a commercial computer that interfaces with the tactical equipment through a bit box (microprocessor). This paper discusses the preparations, experimental design, data collection and analysis methods for the first experiment with military players interfaced with the Artillery Control Environment software which was to be conducted 8 May - 10 June 83.
