 | Effective, cost-efficient testing is critical to the long-term success of open architecture within the Navy's Integrated Warfare System. In previous research we have developed a simple, effective framework to examine the testing of complex systems. This model and its prototype decision aid provide a rigorous yet tractable approach to improve system testing, and to better understand and document the system and component interdependencies across the enterprise. An integral part of ... |

 | The Maritime Operations Center (MOC) was designed to effectively utilize the planning elements of Future Operations (FOPS) to provide more rapid, accurate resource allocations consistent with the vision of the Commander. MOC staff simultaneously participate in the planning effort, while executing the current operation, and supporting headquarters during planning and execution. Frequently, an operational planning team (OPT) - a task-organized team formed to conduct integrated planning for a specific mission ... |

 | Maritime Headquarters with Maritime Operations Centers, or more specifically the MOC, (MOC) represents the nexus of Joint and Navy transformation initiatives, lessons learned in the Global War on Terrorism, and progress toward the Sea Power 21 vision. Developing effective globally networked MOCs will require continued development, refinement and acquisition to deliver nearterm enhancement to Navy warfighting capabilities, while transforming the future maritime force to fulfill its role in The Cooperative ... |

 | The U.S. Navy is developing new maritime strategies and command structures to guide transformation efforts, to ensure the security of the global maritime commons in the new network-centric era, and to fit the challenges of the 21st century. The addition of an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) commander is one such innovative structural innovation that is under consideration. To empirically investigate different conceptualizations of ISR officers, we contrasted an ISR ... |

 | This paper describes the design of an experiment that combines research of the Adaptive Architectures for Command and Control (A2C2) and the Command 21 programs, both sponsored by the Office of Naval Research. The experiment focuses on the nexus of organizational design and information presentation strategies - both of which are undergoing dramatic changes in form and function within the US military. The formation of Expeditionary Strike Groups (ESGs) is ... |
