Description
Summary:In this paper, we describe the design, implementation, and execution of and the results obtained from the SINCE experiment 1a (SINCEx1a). The goals of this experiment were (a) to test and verify the information exchange among all of the US and German systems connected in the experimentation environment, and (b) to demonstrate and validate with military user participation that the C2 functionality implemented was adequate to support future planned operational experiment, SINCEx1b. SINCEx1a implementation followed, adopted and adapted a code of best practice approach for experimentation. Both adopted features and adapted elements are summarized herein. Clearly, many compromises had to be made considering the limited resources and budget available. Many trade-offs were made in establishing a balance between (a) developing the infrastructure not only for SINCEx1a but for the planned follow-on experiments and (b) developing the SINCEx1a experimental configuration that was finally used in the conduct of the actual experiment. Presented at the Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium (9th), held in San Diego, CA, Jun 2004.
