Abstract

Systems and methods measure the effectiveness of network-centric environments. A network-centric environment is described by a computerized model that includes a plurality of parameters describing the various sensors and effectors available within the scenario. As the model is executed, numerical representations of the level of interoperability (e.g. a speed of command parameter, a situational awareness parameter, an asset utilization parameter and/or the like) are computed. A measure of effectiveness is then determined for the scenario as a function of the numerical representations. The measure of effectiveness can then be reported to a user, administrator or other use, who may use the data to compare and contrast different resources or scenarios, to design improved network centric environments, and/or for other purposes.
