摘要

Within the scope of the army's tactical command and control system (ATCCS), process and object modelling has been central work method. For evaluation of these business models, observational data-collected by officers during military exercises-is being used. The command and control systems are increasingly computerized, which adds the possibility of logging. This report covers whether data visualization of collected log-files can be used as a complement to existing methods. One business model where data collection research is being done is the ground combat model. Having this model as a reference, data visualization methods were designed with time lines, map presentation and graphs as the main concept. An important part of the work is the co-ordination possibilities of the visualization methods. Paper mock-up prototypes were designed and evaluated during two military exercises. The results were favorably received by both model evaluators and model designers, giving grounds for further research concerning analysis of information need and prototype implementation.
