  2. Definitions • Metrics: Objective, quantitative, data based measures of an organization’s operations, products, and services. Examples: • Metrics of product quality • Metrics of effects of products on customers • METOC Metrics: Metrics of METOC organization’s products and impacts. Three main types: • Performance metrics: metrics of capacity, readiness, quality, efficiency / return on Investment • Impacts metrics: metrics of impacts on warfare customer operations (planning, execution, post-assessment) • Phenomena metrics: metrics that relate product performance, customer performance, or operational impacts to specific environmental phenomena • Methods for Generating METOC Metrics •  Collect / analyze real world data on METOC and customer ops •  Model METOC and customer ops Murphree et al., METOC Metrics, Feb 07, murphree@nps.edu

  11. Overview NPS METOC Metrics Program Tom Murphree, Ph.D. Quantitative objective metrics of the performance and operational impacts of forecasts are critical in enabling the military meteorology and oceanography communities to: (1) assess and improve their support for war fighting operations; and (2) increase their participation in Pentagon-level assessment and budgeting processes. \We are conducting a multi-year program to develop, test, and transition to operational use methods for objectively measuring both: (1) the performance of forecasts; and (2) the impacts of forecasts on the planning and operations of end users of the forecasts. The two main methods we have developed and are now transitioning to operational use are: 1. an online data collection and analysis system with automated real time data displays for assessing the performance of both forecasts and impacts on end-user operations 2. a rules-based operations analysis model that simulates the impacts of forecasted and observed environmental conditions on end-user operations We have applied our methods to the collection and analysis of data from Operation Iraqi Freedom, Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center, Naval strike and amphibious units, Air Mobility Command, Air Combat Command, and Pacific Air Forces. Our analysis results include: (a) forecast verification metrics (e.g., accuracy, false alarm rate, probability of detection, bias, Heidke skill); (b) operational impacts metrics (e.g., delay and cancellation of missions, operations saved from adverse environmental impacts; correlation of environmental mitigation rate and negative operational impacts rate, changes in weapons load outs); and (c) metrics of the relationship of specific environmental phenomena to forecast performance and operational impacts. We will begin development of a METOC metrics program for Naval special warfare (NSW) in fall 2006. The deliverables from our program include: 1. online data collection and analysis system (now in operational use) 2. operations analysis model (soon to be in operational use) 3. metrics of actual performance and operational impacts 4. metrics of simulated operational impacts 5. recommendations to the meteorology and oceanography communities Our program is based on a collaboration of Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) faculty and staff, Navy and Air Force students at NPS, operational Navy and Air Force units, and operations research and IT contractors. Reports on our program are available at: http://wx.met.nps.navy.mil/metrics/metrics_reports.html.

  17. Mission Planning Uncertainty Forecast Uncertainty Mission Performance Forecast Performance Predicted (better outcome) Actual (worse outcome) Actual (worse environment) Predicted (better environment) Mission Outcome Uncertainty better Actual Environment better worse Predicted Environment Effects of Environmental Uncertainty on Mission Planning and Execution Murphree et al., METOC Metrics, Feb 07, murphree@nps.edu Accurate Predictions • Opportunity Costs • Actual is better than predicted • Over-prepared for environmental risks • Spend too many resources, too much time • Resources better used for other locations/missions • Effectiveness Costs • Actual is worse than predicted • Under-prepared for environmental risks • Deploy too few resources, too little time • Increased risk of mission failure Need to know relationships between forecasts, planning, and outcomes in order to quantify, and eventually reduce, outcome uncertainty and associated costs.
