Problem Area
Current generation displays in Navy ships and command centers inadequately convey tactical data to command decision makers as meaningful, timely and useful information.
Problem exacerbated by stressors, including:– High workload,
– Large quantity of diverse track types with uncertain status,
– Increased requirement for Joint & Coalition operations,
– Ambiguous and time compressed tactical environments.
This significantly increases the potential for blue-on-blue and blue-on-white engagements, and negatively impacts a commander’s ability to operate within Battle Orders and ROE.

Objectives
Respond to Fleet requests to implement a tactical, command-level, Decision Support System (DSS) for shipboard evaluation a.s.a.p.
Extend DSS concepts to battle group/battle force/joint command level.
Develop functional model of decision making associated with Joint & Coalition operations
Develop prototype decision support system(s) for Fleet flagship command centers.
5/28/97 4
Approach
Incorporate decision support principles of the TADMUS project:– Adapt technically feasible features / functionality for
transition to shipboard CIC / afloat command center use.
Perform knowledge engineering to develop detailed information requirements for different environments:– Joint Tactical Fleet Command Center (JTFCC)
– Tactical Flag Command Center (TFCC)
Develop functional design specifications, dynamic storyboards and prototype DSS to support tactical decision making in these environments.

6.1 / 6.2 Background
Tactical Decision Making Under Stress Project (6.2)– “Naturalistic” Decision Making Theory (6.1 / 6.2)
– Decision Support Training for Critical Thinking (6.1)
– Eye Tracking in Tactical Decision Making Studies (6.1)
Schema-Based Models of Decision Making (6.1) Response Planner and Manager (RPM) (6.2) Combat System Supervisory Support (CSSS) (6.2) Decision Centered Combat Operations Center (DC-COC)
(6.2)
5/28/97 9
Naturalistic Decision Making Experts make decisions differently from novices.
– Experts use heuristics as decision making shortcuts.» Recognition-Primed Decision Making
» Explanation-Based Reasoning
– Heuristics lead to biases & can cause error.» Framing
» Anchoring
» Confirmation
Stress Affects Performance.– Hypervigilance (Impulsive action)
– Intolerance of ambiguity
– Fixation on primary task / Tunnel vision
– Less team interaction
– Short-term memory degradation

DSS-1 6.2 Study
Are we on the right track with DSS?
Objectives– Determine overall effects of DSS
– Examine the use of DSS modules
Research Questions– DSS Utility
– Situation Awareness
– Communications
– DSS Usability
5/28/97 12
DSS-1 6.2 Study - Conclusions
CO and TAO use the DSS frequently.
DSS is considered useful and adds value.
Fewer communications and fewer of certain types of clarifications with DSS.
More of the critical contacts recognized earlier.
More likely to take defensive measures.
DSS is easy to understand and use.
Many valuable suggestions for revising DSS.
5/28/97 13
Decision Support System-2
Revised display concepts based on the results from on-going research with DSS-1.
Integrates Geo-plot from existing CIC into the DSS. Incorporates new concepts derived from emerging
cognitive theories / models and needs expressed by Fleet operators.
Currently working software. To be evaluated in simulations with revised
scenarios. Potential application to JTFCC / TFCC.
