Training critical thinking for tactical command

Training critical thinking for tactical command

Military missions are more and more focused upon peace enforcing operations in regional conflicts. There is often uncertainty about the intentions, capabilities and strategies of the parties involved. Successful operations under such unstable and complex conditions require competent commanders and staff personnel. ---- Recent studies have shown...

The human in command: Peace support operations

Peace support operations have unique characteristics. These operations require attributes of comrnanders and their teams additional to those qualities required to conduct successful combat operations. Materiel, doctrine, and training must be tailored to accomphsh their functions, but it is the quality of the human in command that leads to...

Modelling command and control teams

This paper describes a computational approach to modelling and simulating C2-team behaviour. Within this approach team models may be used to develop, test, and compare different C2-architectures, that is different structures and processes, without the need for real teams. The advantage of this method is to be able to identify the critical...

Information exchange in support of C2-interoperability

Large organisations, such as NATO and the armed forces of its member countries, cannot function without the availability of accurate, timely, complete and consistent information. The quality of every decision that is made depends largely on the qualiry of the information on which the decision is based. This makes information an essential...

Anti-Air Warfare Research for Naval Forces

AAW is a warfare area with wide-spread spectrum. Command and Control Systems, sensors, effectors and electronic warfare are integrated to a system, they influence each other and must eventually be effective in coordinated action. This complexity asks for Operations Research methods to measure effectiveness and support decisions for development...

Interface Concepts for Command & Control Tasks

This paper addresses new interface concepts for information visualisation and manipulation in Command and Control. These concepts focus on the use of multiple views on the tactical situation to enhance situational awareness and to improve situation assessment. Topics covered include the application of 3D perspective and stereoscopic displays.

Effects of two types of intra-team feedback on developing a shared mental model in Command & Control teams

In two studies, the effect of two types of intra-team feedback on developing a shared mental model in Command & Control teams was investigated. A distinction is made between performance monitoring and team self-correction. Performance monitoring is the ability of team members to monitor each other's task execution and give feedback during task...
