Threat Evaluation

In Command and Control (C2), Threat Evaluation (TE) and Weapon Target Allocation (WTA) are two key components. To build an automated system in this area after modeling Threat Evaluation and Weapon Target Allocation processes, solving these models and finding the optimal solution are further important issues. This setting demands instantaneous operational planning and decision making under inherent severe stress conditions. The associated responsibilities are usually divided among a number of operators and also computerized decision support systems that aid these operators during the decision making process. In this Chapter, the literature in the area of WTA system with the emphasis on the modeling and solving methods are surveyed.

The Mathematical Model

In order to control and optimize cooperative air-to-ground attack decision-making of the unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) team, the principle of income maximum and loss minimum of UCAV team is built firstly. Accordingly, the mathematical model of cooperative target allocation is built based on the decision variables and constraints. Then Bayesian optimization algorithm (BOA) is introduced which is one kind of the evolution algorithm. For improving the ability of the BOA, decision graph is introduced to enhance the represent and learn of Bayesian network and compress the parameter saving. Finally decision graph Bayesian optimization algorithm (DBOA) is utilized to optimize and analyze the model. The simulation results verify that the mathematical model of cooperative target allocation can reflect the importance of cooperative decision-making, the DBOA can converge quickly to the global optimal solution and can effectively solve the cooperative target allocation problem of UCAV team air-to-ground attack.

Computerized Decision Support Systems

This article reviews the transformation and application of inspection and measurement (I&M) technology in the manufacturing industry. I&M offers a wealth of information needed in the development of new products. Cummins and Ford are among the pioneers in connecting I&M systems to the rest of their companies’ computerized decision support systems. Both companies are making wider use of I&M information and bringing factory floor and top-level decision-making closer together. Inspection, test, and measurement results are also vital to establishing the performance of the assembly tools and the capabilities of the processes. Lack of good I&M information can help weaken competitiveness and undermine strategies such as design for manufacturing and design for assembly. Timeliness is also crucial. Squirreling I&M data away in engineering silos perpetuates inspection and measurement as the last island of automation, the repository of information learned and lost.

And Control

Autonomy is associated with intellectual self-preservation and self-determination. Shame, on the contrary, bears a loss of approval, self-esteem and control. Being afflicted with shame, we suffer from social dependencies that by no means have been freely chosen. Moreover, undergoing various experiences of shame, our power of reflection turns out to be severly limited owing to emotional embarrassment. In both ways, shame seems to be bound to heteronomy. This situation strongly calls for conceptual clarification. For this purpose, we introduce a threestage model of self-determination which comprises i) autonomy as capability of decision-making relating to given sets of choices, ii) self-commitment in terms of setting and harmonizing goals, and iii) self-realization in compliance with some range of persistently approved goals. Accordingly, the presuppositions and distinctive marks of shame-experiences are made explicit. Within this framework, we explore the intricate relation between autonomy and shame by focusing on two questions: on what conditions could conventional behavior be considered as self-determined? How should one characterize the varying roles of actors that are involved in typical cases of shame-experiences? In this connection, we advance the thesis that the social dynamics of shame turns into ambiguous positions relating to motivation, intentional content,and actors’ roles.

The Impact

The American approach to environmental regulation is characterized by fragmentation of responsibilities, primary reliance on command and control regulations, extraordinary complexity, a preference for identifiable standards, and heavy resort to litigation. This system has provided important benefits, including significant reduction of environmental contamination, substantial use of science in decision-making, broad participatory rights, and the stimulation of new treatment technologies. However, these gains have been achieved at excessive cost. Too much reliance is placed on command and control methods and especially on technology-based standards. There is too much resort to litigation, and inadequate input from science. Participatory rights are being undermined, and there is a poor allocation of decision-making among the federal agencies and the states. Over-regulation sometimes leads to under-regulation, and insufficient attention is given to the impact on small entities. The responsibility for these difficulties rests with everyone, including the federal agencies, the Congress, the general public and the courts. Changes in the regulatory system are needed. We should abandon the use of technology-based standards to control toxic substances under the Clean Water Act in favor of strong health- and environmentally based standards, coupled with taxes on toxic substances in wastewater.

And Control

Using a simulated Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch center during multi-casualty incident management, this study explored whether the presence of a separate situation display in a Command and Control (C2) setting might require attention at the expense of attending an individual task display, and how it influenced performance and situational awareness. Overall, participants always attended the task display more than the situation display. However, the situation display drew attention at the expense of attending less the task display. The presence of the situation display was related to improved performance and better situational awareness (SA), particularly in the projection level of the SA, which could account also for the better decision-making performance. Participants may have developed an attention allocation strategy to effectively utilize the information of the situation display and execute their tasks on the task display.
