Using Microworlds To Study Intuitive Battle Dynamics: A Concept For The Future

Intuitive Battle Dynamics concerns the understanding of time. The rapid changes in today’s society give us less time for reflection and thinking. A commander needs to develop sensitivity to the changes in the battlefield to be able to control the situation. To find out what sensitivity is needed and in a further perspective to be able to train command and control in dynamic processes we have used microworlds, i.e., computer simulations of dynamic tasks. The aim is to explore and develop the Commander’s need for intuitive battle dynamics, which we believe, is essential for command and control in the future. This paper is about a concept of using microworlds to study intuitive battle dynamics.
