ICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” Course of Action Scoring and Analysis

چکیده
The impacts of implementing Effects Based Operations (EBO) on Course of Action (COA) development and evaluation will be significant. Because EBO focuses on producing effects from military activities, as opposed to the direct result of attacking targets, there is an opportunity to develop a significantly higher number of COAs that achieve the desired effects. Consequently, EBO planning will significantly increase the number of evaluated COAs and the depth of evaluation. In order to evaluate these numerous COAs, which may achieve the same desired effects by substantially different methods, metrics must be found to adequately quantify their relative merits. Desired effects may be achieved though disparate COAs, such as propaganda campaigns versus major interdictions. The Course of Action Simulation Analysis (CASA) task was created to research metrics identification, data representation and scoring approaches. This paper introduces concepts behind CASA and then chronicles task results to date, finishing with a discussion of the scoring methodologies and capabilities developed during the CASA prototyping effort. Specific areas discussed include: mission level simulations usage to examine multiple-hypothesis solutions; ontologies and XML metadata representations; COA metrics identification; development of tools for data reduction, comparison and visualization; and scoring approaches. Finally, we discuss lessons learned to date.

ICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” Security Metrics for Communication Systems
This report discusses the possibility of creating meaningful security metrics for communication systems. In particular, we examine security metrics from an axiomatic standpoint and prove that it is not possible to measure trust in an absolute sense. We do not conclude that it is impossible to create a secure communication system; rather we argue that it is impossible to detect the occurrence. W...

The new deployments of the German Federal Armed Forces necessitate analysis of large quantities of HUMINT reports. The realized ZENON system uses an information extraction approach for the (partial) content analysis of English HUMINT reports from the KFOR deployment of the Bundeswehr. More than 4,000 military reports from this deployment were used as a starting point for the realization of the ...

To complement the traditional reductionism approaches, many C2 analysts and designers are now considering holistic and middle-out approaches that could better deal with the evergrowing complexity of modern command and control systems. In this article, four “complex conditions” (called modalities) are proposed for studying Complex Systems (CxS) and to characterize their evolution toward superior...
