  2. Overview • Conceptual Framework and Definitions • Reference Model • Application of the Reference Model • Summary

  3. Conceptual Framework • A Conceptual Framework provides: • Way of thinking about Information/IS/NCW • Language to talk about Information/IS/NCW • Set of measures to quantify the nature and impacts of Information/IS/NCW • A Conceptual Framework accelerates progress and helps us get the most out of experiments and research activities • A “Reference Model” is a key component of a conceptual framework

  4. Terms of Reference speed distance per unit time mph, kph mph in U.S. air pressure value of time Attribute of Interest: • Variable that is key to understanding. Metric: • An operational definition of an attribute. Measure: • A specific application of a metric. Standard: • The agreed to unit of and approach to measuring an attribute. Indicant: •A surrogate measure used for practical reasons. Value •A relative measure of worth

  5. Information Awareness Knowledge Battlespace • Battlespace Information results from the fusion of key elements of information which characterize the battlespace • Explicit Information (e.g. position of forces, geography, and weather) • Requires Little Interpretation • Can be communicated quickly and easily • Battlespace Awareness involves the identification of patterns in the situation derived from perceived Battlespace Information and a priori Knowledge • Battlespace Knowledge yields predictive ability • Extrapolation of situation awareness Network-intensive People-intensive Requires Knowledge-Based Processes and Workforce

  6. Candidate Definition • Relative Information Advantage • An advantage that one force establishes over another force in the information domain. • The advantage is not measured in an absolute sense, but rather with respect to the information needs of both forces • Metrics are applicable at the tactical, operational, and strategic level

  7. Candidate Definition • Tactical Information Superiority • The ability to establish and maintain a relative information advantage in a specified area of the battlespace, for a specified period of time, in support of a specified mission area

  8. Overview • Conceptual Framework and Definitions • Reference Model • Application of the Reference Model • Summary

  26. The Information Domain Information “Richness” • Content • Accuracy • Timeliness • Relevance Network- Centric Operations . Platform-Centric Operations . . Information “Reach” Richness and reach were introduced by Phillip B. Evans and Thomas S. Wurster, “Strategy and the New Economics of Information,” Harvard Business Review, September-October 1997.

  27. Richness and Reach • InformationRichness is an aggregate measure of the • Quality of Battlespace Information, and • Quality of the interactions among entities • InformationReach is an aggregate measure of the degree to which Information is shared Richness and reach were introduced by Phillip B. Evans and Thomas S. Wurster, “Strategy and the New Economics of Information,” Harvard Business Review, September-October 1997.

  28. Information Domain: Attributes of Information Richness Richness of Interaction (Voice / Data / Video) Information Completeness Trust and Confidence in Information Information Commonality and Consistency Information Relevance “Why” Object State Information - Identification - Classification - Location Information Timeliness “What” Information Accuracy “When” “Who” “Where”

  29. Example Information Richness Attributes for a Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP) • Completeness. The percentage of real tracks that are included in the SIAP. • Correctness. Data accurately reflects true track attributes (position, kinematics, and identity). • Commonality. Track attributes of shared data are the same for each SIAP user. • Continuity. Proper maintenance of track attributes over time. • Timeliness. Data is where it is needed, when it is needed. Source: Representative Measures of a Single Integrated Air Picture (SIAP)

  30. Information Domain: Attributes of Information Reach Geographic Range of Sharing Sharing by Availability (24x7) Access (Search/Navigation) Sharing By Number of Nodes Sharing By Allied / Coalition Sharing By Security Level Sharing By Component / Echelon Capability for Multi-actor Interactions

  41. Extracts from JTIDS Operational Special Project Report to Congress (Cont.) • Operational Effectiveness Kill Ratio • Active Missile Counter Tactics, Fall 1996 • Non-JTIDS equipped aircraft vs. adversary 3.10.1 • JTIDS equipped aircraft vs. adversary 8.11.1 • Night Composite Force Tactics Development and Evaluation, Spring 1997 • Non-JTIDS equipped aircraft vs. adversary 3.62:1 • JTIDS equipped aircraft vs. adversary 9.40:1 2.61 x increase 2.59 x increase

  42. Extracts from JTIDS Operational Special Project Report to Congress (Cont.) • Air Combat Command Project Order: 92-035TF • Operational Special Project Details • 19,400 flying hours • 12,500 sorties • Multiple Missions with F-15C • Basic 1-on-1 flight maneuvers • 8 vs. 16 defensive counter air and offensive counter air • Missions were flown as part of normal training sorties • Duration: 20 Sep 93 - 30 Apr 97

  43. Extracts from JTIDS Operational Special Project Report to Congress Section 4.3: Tactics Adaptation and Section 5.0: Conclusions • Situational Awareness drastically increased with data links due to continual positional awareness of friendlies and adversaries which reduced the need for radio communications. This greatly increased the accuracy of targeting threat aircraft. • Each flight member was able to see the disposition of flight members, regardless of their separation. • This shared awareness made split tactics easier, led to greater flight effectiveness and afforded quicker rejoins when desired. • The mutual support enhancements proved even more significant against a non-equipped adversary in night and weather conditions since the adversary formation either had to stay together or substantially degrade mutual support. • When voice was used, the pilots often referred to common picture making the voice more meaningful.

  44. Extracts from JTIDS Operational Special Project Report to Congress (Cont.) • In testing with the data link, a perfect sort was routine with four (and two) ship flights. This had strong positive implications concerning first pass kill results, fighting outnumbered, survivability and cost effectiveness in employing expensive aircraft/missiles. When an F-15 inadvertently locked on to another flight member, the error was graphically displayed (by the lock line going to the friendly fighter) and the pilot lost little time in determining the error and avoiding possible fratricide)

  45. Extracts from JTIDS Operational Special Project Report to Congress (Cont.) • OSP Message Formats • Precise Participant Location and Identification (PPLI) and status information, displayed to the F-15 pilots and AWACS operators, about the identification, position, fuel, weapons, etc. of all Link 16 equipped aircraft • Track/target reports which convey location and ID information about aircraft (and other platforms) and potential targets • Weapons coordination and target assignments • Sensor reports (including primary target and missile in flight) provided by shooters (e.g., fighters). • Limited intelligence derived information

  46. Overview • Conceptual Framework and Definitions • Reference Model • Application of the Reference Model • Summary

  47. Summary • The IS/NCW Conceptual Framework and Reference Model developed and refined as a result of IS Workshop II provide a methodology for: • More precisely defining attributes and metrics for the information domain • Describing relationships between the physical, information, and cognitive domains • Measuring an information advantage • The utility of this methodology for providing insight into the relationship between an information advantage and combat power was demonstrated in the successful application of these tools to the Air-to-Air Mission.
