Prototype supervisory and summary displays for the Advanced Tomahawk Weapon Control System (ATWCS)

Moore, Matthew Guy 03 1900 (has links)
The problem addressed in this research is the need for supervisory or system summary displays for the Advanced Tomahawk Weapons Control System (ATWCS). These displays are needed to accurately depict the current system state and weapon status in order to aid strike supervisory personnel in making correct and timely decisions. This research examined the problem in the context of designing a set of graphical displays that extracts information relevant to the strike supervisor from ATWCS and displays it in a manner that allows both rapid and accurate interpretation. The approach used to solve the problem progressed in four distinct phases. The first phase, Requirements Analysis, consisted of gathering system requirements through interviews with U.S. Navy officers who have experience as strike warfare supervisors. In the second phase, an initial design was produced using Century Computing's rapid prototyping tool TAE Plus Workbench(TM). The third phase involved the heuristic and guideline evaluation of the prototype based on accepted user interface design principles and ATWCS user interface requirement specifications. This evaluation produced a second iteration prototype that was used in the final phase, Usability Testing. The prototype was tested by U.S. Navy Officers with Tomahawk strike experience and test results were recorded. Changes were then made to the prototype to correct usability problems discovered by the user testing, yielding a third iteration prototype. The final result of this research is a set of prototype displays, in both paper and TAE Plus Workbench(TM) resource file formats, that will be provided to Naval Command, Control, and Ocean Surveillance Center (NCCOSC) Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Division (NRaD) for consideration during system design and implementation.
