Defence Research and Development Canada, Valcartier, has undertaken Research and Development (R&D) work to provide Canadian warships with a revolutionary decision support capability explicitly designed to make the automation transparent and provide warfighters with effective and trusted decision support. This effort uses cognitive system engineering (CSE) as the essential design framework. CSE approaches are well suited to deal with decision support issues, but in practice are very expensive to conduct, ...
The Computer-Assisted Cognitive Systems Engineering (CACSE) toolkit provides a methodology and associated software to facilitate the use of human factors/warfighter operational performance requirements data in the design of complex man-machine systems, such as those found in military C4I applications. Specifically, CACSB provides a Cognitive Task Analysis approach and associated documentation of the design thread from operator information processing and decision-making requirements to the information visualizations needed to support these functions. ...
