Human Systems Integration Assessment of Network Centric Command and Control
Trident Warrior 2003 (TW03) was a Navy initiative to demonstrate an initial baseline of potential FORCEnet capabilities. FORCEnet is the operational construct and architectural framework for Naval Network Centric Warfare in the information age that integrates warriors, sensors, networks, command and control, platforms, and weapons into a distributed combat force. TW03 provided an integrated prototype capability for fleet evaluation and refinement of a supportable incremental delivery of FORCEnet capability. The Chat system was limited by the synchronous nature of the system that required constant attention to monitor communications, by the number of participants that could be accommodated and recognized, and by the time required for users to authorize, compose, and type messages. The connections between the fire control systems allowed users to share common situation awareness on tracks, targets, and fire schedules but were mediated by the GCCS-M position information, which could lag up to 15 minutes behind real-time. The utility of the links between the fire support systems were limited by the inability of one system to accommodate the same target designations from another system and by the lack of connection between systems. Situation awareness is a continuing process and the limitation of reliance on chat as a status indicator was highlighted when one shooter was not aware that he was supposed to be in position to provide fire support to shore. Chat technology was used extensively to transfer information among distributed teams. Confusions and missed messages were noted occasionally and were typically due to user interface design problems, ambiguous operating procedures, or technical incompatibilities between chat systems. Display configurations and workspace layouts were problematic and led to inefficiencies in the way that information was transferred within and between command centers. Consideration of the proper location of operator workstations, legibility of.

In April 1991 BusinessWeek ran a cover story entitled, "I Can't Work This ?#!!@ Thing," about the difficulties many people have with consumer products, such as cell phones and VCRs. More than 15 years later, the situation is much the same-but at a very different level of scale. The disconnect between people and technology has had society-wide consequences in the large-scale system accidents from major human error, such as those at Three Mile Island and in Chernobyl. To prevent both the individually annoying and nationally significant consequences, human capabilities and needs must be considered early and throughout system design and development. One challenge for such consideration has been providing the background and data needed for the seamless integration of humans into the design process from various perspectives: human factors engineering, manpower, personnel, training, safety and health, and, in the military, habitability and survivability. This collection of development activities has come to be called human-system integration (HSI). Human-System Integration in the System Development Process reviews in detail more than 20 categories of HSI methods to provide invaluable guidance and information for system designers and developers.
Prediction and Recognition of Piracy Efforts Using Collaborative Human-Centric Information Systems
Maritime piracy is the cause of widespread international concern, and the number of pirate attacks has increased substantially in recent years. Many commercial vessels are inherently vulnerable to attack because of their size and relative slowness, and technological improvements have resulted in smaller crews on large vessels, whilst the absence of enforcement agencies in international waters has served only to make pirates more daring. Collaborative human-centric information support systems can significantly improve the ability of every nation to predict and prevent pirate attacks, or to recognize the nature and size of an attack rapidly when prevention fails, and improve the collective response to an emergency. This book presents the papers delivered at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) Prediction and Recognition of Piracy Efforts Using Collaborative Human-Centric Information Systems, held in Salamanca, Spain, in September 2011. A significant observation from previous NATO Advanced Study Institutes and Workshops was that domain experts responsible for maritime security were not fully aware of the wide variety of technological solutions available to enhance their support systems, and that although technology experts have a general understanding of the requirements in security systems, they often lacked knowledge concerning the operational constraints affecting those who implement security procedures. This ASI involved both technology and domain experts, as well as students from related fields of study. It offered an opportunity for them to discuss the issues surrounding the prediction, recognition and deterrence of maritime piracy, and will be of interest to all those whose work is related to this internationally important issue.
