Model-based Organizational Design for Future Systems

Abstract

At the core of this effort is the requirement to answer the question of how many and what type of operators are needed to conduct a Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) mission given the proposed capabilities of the E-10A. That is, define the organizational requirements for a future system before it is built. Based on detailed structured interviews, review of system design documents, and analysis of current Air Force systems, we created a comprehensive mission model as the analytical basis for a modeling and simulation study of operator tasks and task loading for the purpose of determining an optimal team structure for the E-10A. The final organizational design provides a detailed description of a proposed roles and responsibilities within the E-10A. The specification of a detailed model provides traceability of these recommendations and a high degree of transparency to support the system design process.
