Abstract
This paper will describe the third in a series of experiments conducted at the Naval Postgraduate School in
November 1997. In particular, we will discuss the activities and results that led to form the hypotheses for
test in the experiment, and the efforts that were needed to actually run the experiment: scenario design, preexperiment
modeling, training and experimental design, data collection methods and instruments, simulator
software, etc. The detailed analyses of the experimental results and findings may be found in companion
papers in these proceedings.
The Adaptive Architectures in Command and Control (A2C2) project is an ambitious ONR-sponsored
research initiative to: extend 12 years of naval composite warfare decisionmaking research into the joint C2
arena; focus on adaptive architectures within these decision-making organizations; and produce results
ranging from purely theoretical to those that can be used by the operational forces in the near term. This
"industry-university-government" initiative involves a three-pronged, coordinated research effort that
includes field, experimental, and theoretical components. The theoretical and analytical efforts provide
models of decision-making and adaptation that are tested via experiments with military officers in joint
settings for measurement of individual and team performance in dynamically evolving missions and
scenarios.
