Abstract

1999 Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium (CCRTS), June 29 - July 1, 1999, U.S. Naval War College, Rhode Island ; The Office of Naval Research sponsored Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) program is conducting research in joint military command and control decision making and adaptation in joint military command and control architectures. It is a synergistic combination of several kindred research processes involving field research, theory building, model development and human-in-the-loop (HIL) experimentation. The HIL experimentation is central to the program overall. It is synchronized with and supports the other processes, and they, in turn, support the experimentation. Thus, individual experiments are not independent entities. Experimental conceptualization and design is based on the current state and needs of each of the processes (including the experimentation), and the experiment is conducted in a manner that provides data to advance the project as a whole and the component processes individually.
