ELICIT Introduction

ELICIT-Experimental Laboratory for Investigating Collaboration, Information-sharing, and TrustDevelopment and support sponsored by the Command and Control Research Program (CCRP)’s network-centric warfare initiative Designed to support developing and testing principles of organization that support agility ELICIT is a software platform with supporting tools and procedures

3

Base Experiment

Multi-user Live participants Configurable Software Agents Hybrid

Varying organizational structure modes Edge Traditional C2 hierarchy Hybrid

Experiment software records all actions for analysis

4

Baseline Task

Identify the who, what, where and when of an adversary attack (intelligence task)

Task scenarios are anonymized Participants are anonymized Participants periodically receive factoids about the

situation No one person has all the information needed Task success requires communication All communication is through the experiment

software

5

Baseline Task Limitations

Only supports intelligence tasks Group size relatively fixed at 17 Complexity of task relatively constant Limited modeling of decision making Limited modeling of chain of command

Baseline Scenario Model

Objective is to identify the who, what, where, when of an adversary attack

17 participants on a team

4 websites (systems) focused on who, what, where, when

68 factoids representing intelligence (clues) Three waves of factoid distribution

Each wave represents new intelligence

14

Ops Scenario Model

Objective is to issue the ATO change order and have the distributed team be aware of that order

28 groups collaborating on air tasking Represented by agents with individually tuned behaviors

10 website systems 131 factoids representing inter group messages 7 waves of factoid distribution

Each wave represents a communication round

ELICIT Flexibility

Full support for variable website names and numbers (across all modules)

Organization structure supports read-only site access Varying numbers of waves (up to 2,147,483,648 ) More control of agent communication behavior

19

Next Steps

Utilize new scenario model Consider making model more granular

Configure move waves Reduce time increments Enhance agents to perform calculations (i.e. 30 minutes

after 0800 is 0830, etc.)
