Abstract
The Operational Decision Aids Program (ODAP) is exploring the use of advanced methodologies-- drawn from the fields of Decision Analysis, Information Science, Operations Research, and Organizational Analysis--to assist a task force commander and his staff in tactical planning and combat decisionmaking. In support of the ODAP, this report examines the problems encountered and the solutions realized in previous attempts to develop operational decision aids and decision aiding systems. Among the system examined are the Vessel Traffic System (VTS), the Standoff Target Acquisition System (SOTAS), the TRIDENT Defensive Command and Control System, the Simulated Tactical Operations System (SIMTOS), the Navy Surface Ship Combat Directions System, and the Army Tactical Data Systems.
