Motivation
• Simulation and statistical analysis are underutilized
in helping the commander’s staff to analyze
courses of action.
• Battle results are infinite in scope, yet the outcome
of any one battle is defined by a unique set of
battlefield interactions.
• Key is to recognizing those interactions through
development of more informative performance
measures unique to the scenario at hand.
Approach
Use statistical methods
and combat models to
create a methodology
that identifies nontraditional metrics for
plan evaluation.
Background
Military Decision Making Process
•Focus on wargame
•Disciplined rules
•Synchronization matrix

Information Requirements in NCW
The key to any analysis is the set of measures used to
represent the performance and effectiveness of the
alternatives being considered. We are relatively good at
measuring the performance of sensors and actors, but
less adept at measuring command and control.
Command and control, to be fully understood, cannot
be analyzed in isolation, but only in the context of the
entire chain of events that close the sensor-to-actor
loop. To make this even more challenging, we cannot
isolate on one target, or even a set of targets but need
to consider the entire target set. Furthermore, network
centric warfare is not limited to attrition warfare … It is
not sufficient to know how many targets are killed, but
exactly which ones and when…

Why Aren’t We Already Doing This?
A few reasons …
• Computer simulation focus has been mainly strategic or
oriented toward acquisition. Tactical application has been
limited.
• Simulations did not have high enough fidelity for tactical
application.
• Simulations were unstable.
• Computing resources were inadequate.
• Necessary communication of inputs had not been
imagined.
• Simulation creators do not always talk to statisticians.
Improvements Here and On the Way
• Stability
• Power Point force laydown of forces
• MS Word OPORD
•Terrain, weather wizzards
• Composable simulations
• After Action Report data
• Man-in-loop allowed
• Sensor advances
• Communication advances
• Computation speed and cost
Catching On?
After Action Review
PURPOSE: The OneSAF After Action Review
component provides the capability to correlate, rollup, and analyze simulation outputs and visualize the
results of the simulation exercise. The toolset allows
the analyst to preplan the AAR prior to exercise
execution.
• Situation awareness during the execution of the exercise and
afterwards during exercise playback:
– PVD & 3D Stealth display
– Statistical charts, tables
– OPORD paragraphs
– Task Organizations Summaries
– Radio/audio playback (Future)
• Mining of collected data to construct MOPs/MOEs
• Automatically build AAR presentations & Take Home Package
using COTS Office Automation
