  1. Adaptive Course of Action ACTD

  2. Reengineering the Process Reengineering = the fundamental rethinking and radical redesign of business process to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance such as quality, service, and speed.

  3. CINC’s Objective • Develop and demonstrate a Joint, TightlyIntegrated, Crisis Action Planning and Execution System • Roots based on requirement for an integrated Crisis Action PlanningandExecution process • Reduced requirements for deliberate planning if not eliminated • Significantly improve information management and dissemination across the planning spectrum • Reduce the numbers of formal messages required to support crisis planning • Take advantage of concurrent planning.

  4. Essential Rules • All communication must be digital. • Study data online to gain and share insights easily. • Shift military planners and decision-makers into high-level thinking. • Use digital tools to create virtual teams. • Convert every paper process to a digital process. • Use digital tools to eliminate single-task jobs. • Create a digital feedback loop. • Take a look at process and simplify it wherever possible.

  5. Essential Rules (cont’d) • Keep an eye on the grand picture. • Too many hand-offs create too many likely points of failure. • Creating a new process is a major project. • Use digital systems to route problems immediately. • Use digital communication to redefine the boundaries. • Transform every process into just in time delivery. • Use digital delivery to eliminate the middleman. • Use digital tools to help people solve problems for themselves.

  6. Mission ACOA serves the Joint Operations Planning and Execution Community by adding value with a commitment to continuous improvement, innovation, and mutual satisfaction.

  7. ACOA Intent USCINCPAC and AITS-JPOdevelop and demonstrate advanced technology enabling geographically dispersed planning and executing forces to rapidly generate, assess and adapt coursesof action for military operations.

  8. Principles • Continuous Improvement and Innovation are central to our pursuit of excellence. • Crisis Action Organization Focus aligns our organization, resources, and strategies to exceed total partner satisfaction. • Partner involvement is essential to create an environment in which each partner is willing and able to contribute his or her efforts, knowledge, and ideas to achieve our mission and strategy. • Partnerships are a foundation of our strategy as we continuously seek new ways to value, develop, maintain, and enhance mutually beneficial relationships.

  9. Values Quality. User focus. Subject matter leadership. Pursuit of excellence. Integrity. Timeliness. Resource management. Safety. Innovation. Bureaucratic avoidance. Entrepreneurialism. User/Developer Teamwork.

  10. Change No one likes change, except, perhaps, a wet baby. Change isn’t linear anymore. It’s a time bomb, accelerating exponentially.

  11. Top 5 Characteristics • Concurrent, Distributed, Collaborative Tool suite • Tightly integrated applications and accurate databases geared towards support of crisis action • True common operational picture • Single C2I system • Works in Coalition Operations

  36. The Challenge Statement:The technology explosion has NOT delivered the promised C2 decision making explosion!! • Pick your favorite technology: • Processor MIPS • Bandwidth • Parallel processing • Storage media • …whatever...

  37. The need triggered today’s programs • “What the warrior needs: a fused, real time, true representation of the Warrior’s Battle Space--an ability to order, respond, and coordinate horizontally and vertically to the degree necessary to prosecute his mission...” • C4I for the Warrior • 12 June 1992

  38. A C2 DSS must provide a shared vision of the battlespace to the warriors Success is defined by making commanders, staffs, and decision aids more effective decision makers DECISION SPACE A new way to look at things...

  39. Information Creation Data Transformation Presentation Organization Navigation User Driven vs. Data Driven • The ‘chasm’: where you start often determines where you finish...don’t be fooled by layers painted onto the data! • Building the bridge is hard it requires a new approach! DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM: DATA SOURCES INFORMATION NEEDS

  40. Critical Characteristics of the problem • Selected key characteristics: • High Value/Mission Critical decisions • High Data Rate • Overconstrained problem • Evolving/”Rolling Horizon” • Imperfect view of the world • Every characteristic is also one that challenges human decision making...

  41. Reactive Replanning Forecasting Planning “Friction” of War Notional Oplans Orders cut to Units Execute! The full C2 spectrum:Integrating Planning and Execution “The Sliding Scale of Commitment” Degree of Commitment Time/Perspective

  42. Focus on Decision Makers’ needs…not technology • Decision Support for collaboration: More than just a remoted physical meeting!! • Dealing with Data Overload:More than just reducing the numbers

  43. Future Key Technology directions • Metrics for *delivered* Decision Effectiveness and Throughput • Dramatically improved Decision Centered System Design methodologies • Basic research in technologies that support shared understanding (collaboration) • Intuitive presentations of complex, multivariable, abstract command decision making (time, options, mission, intent, …)

  44. In Summary • It will take *more* than IT initiatives alone to deliver the goods on advanced C2 DSS • A future focus on exploiting technologies in a decision supporting environment is essential
