Abstract:

This paper provides an introduction to the relationship between an Automated Command and Control Information System ACCIS and Computer Assisted Exercises CAX. After a brief historical review the paper gives an overview of existing definitions and descriptions of ACCIS and CAX. Based on a common sense understanding of the phenomena, the term Operational Environment Simulation OES is introduced. Common capabilities of ACCIS and OES are then identified as Common Services. It is concluded that both the ACCIS and the OES have much in common. It is recommended that future developments of ACCIS should follow the same standards and guidelines in order to maximize training benefit of CAXes and in order to minimize costs of development, operations and management of both systems. The NATO ACCIS architecture attempts to do exactly this.
