The symposium brought together researchers and members of the operational community from all five TTCP countries that are contributing to research in the human factors of network-centric operations in the air, land, and maritime domains.
The symposium commenced with a Keynote Address by BRIG Gerard Fogarty describing how the human dimension of NCW is to be progressed in the Australian Defence Force. 18 papers were presented, covering a range of NCW topics from a human factors perspective, including teamwork, communications, collaboration, social and organisational issues, display technologies, coalition interoperability, training and selection, methodological and measurement issues, and how to ensure the human dimension is part of capability development and acquisition processes.
The symposium was very successful in providing a clear picture of the key issues and the state of research on these issues, and a forum to discuss the way ahead and potential avenues of collaboration under TTCP in this area.
