| Popis: | Models developed to study and evaluate innovative organizational structures predict organizations with an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) coordinator will be superior in performance to organizations without such a coordinator, especially when information load is high. We examined the effect of the presence or absence of an ISR coordinator and information load on mission performance employing a moderate fidelity man-in-the-loop simulation. Counter to the modeling predictions the organization with an ISR coordinator was not superior in performance to an organization without an ISR coordinator. However, analysis of the Email/Intel message traffic showed organizations with an ISR coordinator to be superior in situation assessment and awareness. When these latter results are coupled with results showing a steep and significant improvement curve between trials 1 and 2 for the organization with an ISR coordinator, we surmise that if teams are given more practice and familiarization with novel organizations, empirical results will confirm the model predictions. |
