Abstract
The Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) research project is examining
issues in joint command and control, focusing on organizational adaptation. The project includes a
series of “human-in-the-loop” experiments at the Naval Postgraduate School. The experiments are
in three tiers, ranging from basic to applied/operational research, with tier 1 being the most basic.
Four tier 1 experiments have been conducted to date, all employing the DDD-III simulator as the
experimental driver. The DDD is designed for this type of research. It offers a high degree of
control and supports on-line collection of data. It also involves a high level of abstraction, which
is well suited to basic research. The basic A2C2 research will continue, but the research is also
beginning to branch into the more operational/applied arena. The A2C2 team has selected the
Marine Corps MTWS as the experimental driver for tier 2 experiments and has installed MTWS
at NPS. The fifth A2C2 experiment used MTWS to reexamine selected research questions from
experiment four, focusing on the performance of Joint Task Force decision-makers in model
based and traditional JTF architectures. The architectures used in experiment five resemble as
closely as possible those used in experiment four.
