Towards mixed rational-naturalistic decision support for Command & Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information systems for crisis response and management, including military Command & Control systems, are designed to support their users’ decision-making processes. Decision making can be rational or naturalistic. Psychologists have shown that experienced decision makers under time pressure prefer using naturalistic methods. Case studies of four implemented Command & Control systems show that most decision support assumes rational decision making. Some support for naturalistic decision making is becoming available. We identify a mix of rational and naturalistic decision support tools as being desirable for flexible Command & Control.

Cognitive Modelling for Decision Support in Naval Command & Control
Traditionally, a decision support system is built to help a broad range of users in their decision making. However, there are some domains such as air traffic control, the nuclear industry, and certain military tasks, where it is critical that particular individuals make correct judgements for the safety of themselves and others. For such people, it is possible that a decision support system ta...

متن کاملGame-Theoretic Reasoning in Command and Control
Developers of tomorrow’s Command and Control centers are facing numerous problems related to the vast amount of available information obtained from various sources. On a lower level, huge amounts of uncertain reports from different sensors need to be fused into comprehensible information. On a higher level, representation and management of the aggregated information will be the main task, with ...
متن کاملThe Application Of Simulation Technology To Military Command And Control Decision Support
This paper reviews the application of simulation technology to military command and control decision support. A command and control system is defined and a model of decision-making is introduced. Possible applications of simulation to all phases of the command and control decision-making model are discussed. The difficulties of interfacing current C3I and simulation systems are outlined, and ar...
