“…They are integrated into a decision support system (DSS), where the core of the system is a geographical information system (GIS) called C3Resuce (based on C3Fire [9]), which gives the user an overview of the area and of all the resources. The user controls and manages the resources through the user interface (UI) SMOKE.…”

Abstract-Decision support tools for efficient dispatching of fire and rescue resources are developed and evaluated. The tools can give suggestions about which resources to dispatch to new accidents, and help the decision makers in evaluating the current preparedness for handling future accidents. The tools are evaluated using simulation game based experiments, with players from the fire and rescue services. The results indicate that the tools can help the fire and rescue services in identifying the closest resources to new accidents, and to select resources that preserve the preparedness in the area. However, the results also indicate that there is a risk that the tools increase the decision time.

“…C3Conflict is a "microworld"-a distributed, computer-based simulated environment that realistically captures much of the complex, opaque, and dynamic nature of real-world problems (Brehmer, 2005;Brehmer & Dörner, 1993;Granlund, 2003). C3Conflict is an update of the C3Fire platform that has been used in the Human System Integration Laboratory (HSIL) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) for several years (Colebank, 2008;Hernandez, Ray, Papadapoulas, & Glaser, 2010;Thomas, 2005).…”

ABSTRACTThis report discusses the findings of the Nett Warrior (NW) C3Conflict experiment and its implications for the NW Basis of Issue (BOI). The experiment used the C3Conflict war game to elicit and contrast measures of leader performance across two conditions that simulated alternative BOI for NW. C3Conflict is a distributed, computer-based, multiplayer, small unit war game designed to elicit measures of leader performance focusing on command, control, and communication. In the fully NW-enabled condition, the C3Conflict interface simulated the information and communication enabled by NW and made this package available to three soldiers-one in the role of Squad Leader (SL) and two in the role of Team Leader (TL). In contrast, in the partially NWenabled condition, C3Conflict made that package available only to SL; the interface for the two TL simulated the limitations of lineof-sight vision. Eighteen hypotheses were tested. All predicted that unit performance would be better in the fully NW-enabled condition. Ten were confirmed. No measures showed superiority for the partially NW-enabled condition. These findings support the argument that the fully NW-enabled BOI improves squad-level communications, coordination, and maneuvers. In the discussion section, these results are interpreted to reveal that the fully-enabled BOI is the preferable option for two reasons. First, if SLs use the full range of capabilities offered by NW, their workload is likely to decrease. Second, the fully-enabled BOI promotes the autonomy and battlefield awareness of TLs. Fully-enabled TLs are likely to be better prepared to assume command, if necessary. SUBJECT...

AbstractThis thesis describes the development of an instrument for assessing shared understanding in teams. The purpose was to develop an instrument that would be usable, understandable, objective, flexible and self-explanatory. Teams working in naturalistic settings are expected to have a shared understanding of common goals and how to achieve these. The problem investigated in this thesis is that current techniques and instruments for assessing shared understanding in teams generally suffer from one or more of the following drawbacks, namely that they are expensive, difficult to use, time-consuming, requiring expertise, and are often based on subjective perceptions. Departing from existing theory in team cognition techniques and theories, the research questions posed in this thesis are: 1) How can shared understanding be measured without the disadvantages of existing methods? 2) How can shared understanding be assessed without the bias of self-ratings and/or assessments by experts/observers? 3) Can team performance be better understood by the outcomes of an instrument that measures shared understanding?These research questions are answered through six studies that are presented in this thesis. Over the six studies an instrument was iterated and subsequently developed, called the shared priorities instrument. When using this instrument, team members are instructed to generate items and rank these in order of importance. By comparing these rank orders from different participants, a team measure of shared understanding can be calculated. The advantages of this instrument compared to earlier measures are that it is less expensive, easier to use, less time-consuming, does not require subject matter expertise, and that the instrument is distanced from subjective perceptions.Furthermore, the final study provides results where outcomes from the shared priorities instrument correlate with performance, supporting earlier research connecting shared understanding in teams with team performance. A structural equation model, a result of the final study, shows that the instrument is both valid and reliable.
