Experimental studies in a reconfigurable C4 test-bed for network enabled capability

Abstract

This paper reports on the development of a command and control environment that enables experimental studies to be conducted into Network Enabled Capability (NEC). The command and control environment comprises a reconfigurable Command Wall, and wireless local area network and reconfigurable wearable computers. The two studies reported in this paper explore communication media (study one) and data source/decay (study two). Study one showed the advantages and disadvantages of the electronic medium for passing data between the field and command room. Study two explored data push versus data pull and the effects of data decay on some aspects of command performance. As an experimental environment the reconfigurable C4 test-bed is now beginning to show some utility. Further studies are being planned and scenarios are being developed
