Representing a combat ID analysis tool within an agent based constructive simulation

Motivation - This paper describes an approach for the development of a model which represents complex human factors relationships relating to Combat Identification (Combat ID). Research approach - The human factors relationships were incorporated within an experimental Agent Based Model (ABM), using an integrated approach to analysis and experimentation. Research limitations/Implications -- This is ongoing work, and is currently limited in application to a single decision maker within a static environment. Originality/Value -- The approach has the potential to provide a new way of representing cognitive errors, and humans SA (Situation Awareness) development. Take away message -- Within the context of Combat ID, the approach has enabled cognitive errors, and the impact of human bias on SA development to be modelled within an experimental agent based constructive simulation.
