Description
Summary:The Canadian Forces Warfare Centre (CFWC) uses state-of-the-art joint battle labs (JBLs) to test the integration of command and control (C2) systems from all of the Canadian Armed Forces services, as well as the integration of international and experimental C2 systems. Typically, this is done through large-scale distributed warfighting experimentation involving several geographically dispersed and networked JBLs. One such series of experiments is the Coalition Attack Guidance Experiment (CAGE). The third event in this series (CAGE 3A) was a multi-national human-in-the-loop experiment (including Australian, British, and Canadian operators) to investigate the use of specific tool suites in the planning and coordination of cross-boundary, joint and combined fires. Participants in the experiment played their corresponding operational roles in the interconnected command posts, and the performance of the people, processes, and tools was observed. Presented at the 19th International Command & Control Research & Technology Symposium (ICCRTS) held 16-19 June, 2014 in Alexandria, VA.
