Abstract:

This report documents subject matter experts assessments of the usability of the Location Analysis Applications LAAs, a module of the AirLand Battle Management ALBM Advanced Technology Demonstration ATD decision aid prototype version 1.2. This is one of a series of assessments of the ALBM ATD prototype conducted during its development. The LAAs include 19 automated terrain analysis applications to assist in the analysis of the area of operations for Army division-level tactical planning. Four applications were rated highly or rather usable and 4 were rated as unusuable, with the remaining 11 falling between rather usable and somewhat unusable. Specific recommendations for improvements are provided. Command and control, Decision aids, ALBM ATD, Decision aid evaluation, Tactical planning aids, Knowledge base assessment.
