Mission Command Measures Framework
- Lieutenant Colonel Gerald Benard, Senior Military Analyst, Analysis Directorate, TRADOC Analysis Center
Command and Control Measures of Merit
- Mr. Donald Kroening, Booz Allen Hamilton
A critical component needed to conduct analytic studies supporting materiel acquisition is determining the measures required to assess differences in proposed solution sets designed to overcome capability gaps. This tutorial presents a framework which identifies key issues for C2 systems assessment processes and concludes with an overview Codes of Best Practice which classify and define measures and their relationships. This information defines component needed to accurately measure all phases of C2 assessment processes. This tutorial will enhance working group discussions and provide participants with a common frame of reference for C2 metrics development.
LTC Benard is currently a Senior Military Analysis at the TRADOC Analysis Center, Fort Leavenworth conducting mission command and mission command systems analysis and has extensive operational and analytical C2 experience.
Mr. Kroening has extensive command and control studies, analysis, and experimentation experience as a Director, Lead Analyst, and Intelligence Officer for the U.S. Army. He currently supports a variety of analytical assessments at Fort Leavenworth.
Warfighter Associate: Decision Aiding and Cognitive Metrics for Mission Command
- Dr. Norm Geddes, Applied Systems Intelligence
- Dr. Norbou Buchler, Army Research Laboratory, Human Research Engineering Directorate (ARL HRED)
- Mr. Daniel O'Neill, Communications Electronics-Research, Development
Tools which support and interact with C2 systems enable important assessment capabilities via their ability to measure system performance. This session presents a support tool which models complex task performance and synchronization to enhance C2 system user interfaces and facilitate collaboration, situation awareness, and decision-making processes. The application uses artificial intelligence and an extensive configurable knowledge base to support complex C2 tasks and interoperate with a variety of systems. The presenters will discuss the application’s functionality and its capabilities to identify and collect C2 metrics. This session provides insights to interactions between humans and supporting C2 systems and the capability of tools to support measurement development efforts.
Planning, Design, and Analysis of Networked Systems: An overview of techniques used to design and assess C2 networks
- Dr. Susmit Patel, MITRE Corp.
As today’s C2 networks continue to grow in size and complexity, formal design considerations become increasingly important. This session provides a comprehensive overview on planning, design and analysis of C2 networks. It addresses requirements development, metrics identification, analysis processes, system selection, and monitoring and management of the deployed system. The session provides background for analytical activities which will be discussed by working groups during the workshop
Dr. Patel currently supports network/system architecture for the U.S. Army and teaches Systems Engineering/Operations Research courses at George Mason University.
