Quantitative Model-Driven Comparison of Command Approaches in an Adversarial Process Model; Conference paper with briefing charts

摘要

In this research, we will demonstrate that for a given mission, certain Command Approaches are more effective against other Command Approaches (e.g. Control Free may be more effective against Interventionist than Problem Solving). Lenahan identified metrics and techniques for adversarial C2 process modeling. We intend to further that work by developing a set of adversarial process models that will allow us to 'compete' Command Approaches (Control Free, Problem Solving and Interventionist) against each other. We will evaluate the conflict outcome, abstract process metrics and resource utilization rates (materiel and human). The intent is that this work will quantitatively examine the effect of varying Command Approaches for a specific mission and lay the foundation for future work in the area of C2 process and organization research. In the future, we would like to develop hybridized or unique command approaches that are most effective for specific mission portfolios.
