Abstract
The paper addresses experimental studies of decision support models for collaboration in
tactical network-centric operations. This project, supported by partners from Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), US Special Operations Command (SOCOM),
Swedish Armed Forces, Austria, and Singapore. Naval Postgraduate Schools (NPS)
Tactical Network Topology (TNT) is the base for the testbed, comprised of long-haul
OFDM networks combined with self-forming wireless mesh links to unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs), radiation detection sensors, and geographically distributed experts. The
case- study conducted by the NPS student team during the Summer of 2006 included
Maritime Interdiction Operation (MIO), High-Value Target (HVT) tracking, and
Emergency Response coordination scenarios, in which geographically distributed
command centers and subject matter experts collaborate to facilitate situational
understanding and course of action selection. During the study NPS students observed
communication processes of geographically distributed teams and were able to position
collaborative process in the decision making space of Simon’s problem solving model,
Boyd’s OODA Loop, and Alberts and Hayes’ Collaboration Significant Influences
model. The results show high fidelity of Alberts and Hayes’ Collaboration Significant
Influences model and reveal the requirements to collaborative network topology as well
as multi participant team structures.
