How much of an increase in mission effectiveness does the Link 16
communications system provide in prosecuting air-to-air combat and
how can the observed increase in actual performance be attributed
to the advantages of network-centric operations? Link 16 enables
network-centric operations (NCO) in ways that voice-only
communications cannot. How does this increase in effectiveness
translate into success in battle? More than 12,000 sorties were
flown in the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System
Operations Special Project, where Link 16 and voice-only
communications were evaluated. Using NCO metrics, the authors
gauged improvements provided by Link 16. The almost threefold
increase in effectiveness shows the merits of the Link 16 and NCO
concepts. The authors conclude that further studies should examine
more complex missions and increase understanding of NCO concepts.
The authors develop a mathematical framework for assessing how
information is processed in a human world. Assessing how technology
contributes to information superiority and decision dominance a
major challenge, in part because it demands quantitative measures
for what are usually considered qualitative concepts. The authors
have developed a mathematical framework to aid these efforts.
Additional work, such as data fitting, experimentation, linking
decisions and actions, historical analysis, and gaming will further
advance knowledge in this area.
