<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[In recent years, Canadian law enforcement has attracted increased public interest in police use of force in addition to the methods by which Less Lethal Weapons (LLWs) are tested and received approval for use. One of the objectives of the Conducted Energy Weapons Strategic Initiative (CEWSI) project is to develop a LLW approval process that could be applied to emerging less lethal technologies. The identification of requirements represents the first step in obtaining a new capability. This paper introduces the characteristics of good requirements, suggests several techniques for obtaining requirements and provides a template and guidelines for creating a Statement of Operational Requirements for a LLW capability.]]></description>

This component of the Technology Innovation Fund (TIF) program on Meta-organizational Collaboration was designed to assist in understanding challenges faced by the Canadian Forces (CF). The objective of the stream is to conduct basic research into shared decision making through the analysis of case studies, exercises and live simulations, as well as to test the shared decision making framework in vivo.; Method: Activities under Task 4 focused on the completion of sessions of the in vivo simulation of shared decision making in a complex scenario with experienced high level responders, as well as completing additional qualitative interviews with key decision makers involved with one or more extreme events. The data generated was analyzed with the aim to validate the Model of Inter-organizational Problem-solving Approaches developed under Task 1 and to develop potential considerations and guidelines with respect to communication, decision-making and problem-solving in multi-organizational environments during extreme events.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Modelling, Simulation & Analysis (MS&A) are known as crucial, effective and efficient enablers of Defence Communities from Concept Development & Experimentation (CD&E) to Training. In Public Safety and Security in general and in particular in recent complex major national events such as the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, the impact of MS&A has been significant, though far less known. Drawing upon case studies, this report argues that MS&A is a potent enabling tool for Defence & Security Communities not only from CD&E to Training, but in all aspects of Capability, from Strategy/Policy to Capability Development, Capability Generation, Capability Employment and Network Enabled Capability (NEC). The methodologies by which MS&A became a crucial enabler to ensure safe and secure conduct of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics and G8/G20 Summits are highlighted in this report. Given the recurrent nature of complex major national events as well as the growing requirement to efficiently test and validate Emergency Management Plans and Business Continuity Plans, a persistent capability framework to support (National and International) Major Events security and safety planning and operations has been undertaken that includes a persistent and credible S&T and MS&A capability.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This paper presents an overview of the DRDC command and control (C2) analysis support for Exercise Cyber Storm III, held in September 2010. It documents what was done, who was involved, challenges encountered, recommendations for improvement, and an indication of the overall effort required. After obtaining client support, DRDC teams were created for Public Safety Canada’s Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre (CCIRC), Government Operations Centre (GOC), the Canadian Forces Network Operations Centre (CFNOC), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) National Operations Centre (NOC). Analysts prepared for the exercise by becoming familiar with exercise documentation and attending pre-exercise training and meetings. During the exercise, teams of one to three analysts observed exercise play at each operations centre, interviewed staff, and administered surveys. Following the exercise, DRDC letter reports synthesising information were delivered to clients. Key recommendations that result from providing C2 analysis for CSIII include: (1) for future exercises, DRDC should engage earlier to have ample time for preparation; (2) analysts and management must be educated on, and agree to, the commitment required to deliver this type of analysis; (3) the commanding officer of each operations centre should be engaged by DRDC prior to the exercise; (4) DRDC should deliver reports and briefings to clients within two to three weeks of the exercise for optimal impact; and (5) federal res]]></description>

The program is designed to help the operator/analyst develop a fast and accurate impression of the relationships among entities (people, places, organizations) discussed in document collections that are too large to read through in a reasonable amount of time. Over the past few years, NATO countries have developed and delivered a training program for Afghan National Police (ANP) members. The ANP are considered by some to be unprofessional, inept, corrupt, and as having little positive effect on the local population's sense of security in their communities. These qualities of the ANP were explored using GOSSIP by examining an open source media collection prepared for analysts and commanders in KAF. We found that when the ANP was discussed in the media updates provided to TFK commanders, it was very often in a positive way. In particular, discussion about NATO’s role in professionalizing the ANP dominated articles about the ANP. We propose that the extent to which the ANP is discussed in positively toned articles might lead the target audience for these articles to have an unduly positive impression of the ANP.

<dcterms:abstract xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The Graphical Overview of the Social and Semantic Interactions of People (GOSSIP) is a software tool developed by Defence Research and Development Canada – Toronto (DRDC Toronto). The program is designed to help the operator/analyst develop a fast and accurate impression of the relationships among entities (people, places, organizations) discussed in document collections that are too large to read through in a reasonable amount of time. Over the past few years, NATO countries have developed and delivered a training program for Afghan National Police (ANP) members. The ANP are considered by some to be unprofessional, inept, corrupt, and as having little positive effect on the local population's sense of security in their communities. These qualities of the ANP were explored using GOSSIP by examining an open source media collection prepared for analysts and commanders in KAF. We found that when the ANP was discussed in the media updates provided to TFK commanders, it was very often in a positive way. In particular, discussion about NATO’s role in professionalizing the ANP dominated articles about the ANP. We propose that the extent to which the ANP is discussed in positively toned articles might lead the target audience for these articles to have an unduly positive impression of the ANP.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Background: The goal of this work was to monitor sleep (via wrist actigraphs) in Arctic Patrollers and generate cognitive effectiveness models for each patroller using a program called Fatigue Avoidance Scheduling Tool (FASTTM). Methods: Actigraphic data were collected from 23 Arctic patrollers of whom 3 were Inuit Rangers (who ranged from 25 to 62 years of age), from one ranger instructor (48 years of age) and from 19 troops who were freshly deployed from various regions across southern Canada (who ranged from 21 to 54 years of age). The patrols ranged from 5 to 14 days in duration. Sleep data were recorded for several days at Canadian Forces Station Alert prior to departing on patrol and throughout the patrols. The following sleep parameters (primary sleep period minutes, total daily sleep minutes, number of daily naps, daily nap minutes, sleep latency in minutes, number of sleep episodes in the primary sleep period, and WASO (Wake After Sleep Onset) in minutes) were recorded and graphed for each day as well as averaged over 16 days. Total daily sleep minutes along with daily work periods were inputted to FASTTM to generate models of cognitive effectiveness for each of the 23 Arctic patrollers. Results and Discussion: Inuit Rangers obtained more sleep in their primary sleep periods, have fewer sleep episodes and have less wake time within their primary sleep periods than their freshly deployed counterparts.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This paper is the second part of a larger study the principal purpose of which is to determine the trajectory of China’s nuclear weapons policy, strategy, capability and doctrine. Building on the first paper, which provided a benchmark for comparative analysis in the form of an overview of the evolution of US nuclear strategy since the end of the Second World War, this paper discusses the origins of China’s nuclear strategy; its view of deterrence; what certain elements of its declaratory policy reveal about Beijing’s nuclear strategy; and where that strategy appears to stand at present. The paper concludes that while the evolution of China’s nuclear strategy bear some resemblance to Western patterns of nuclear evolution, the process has been largely unique; and that although Beijing will probably maintain an official commitment to minimal deterrence, China’s nuclear strategy has progressed well beyond its declaratory policy, and is continuing to change rapidly. Further papers in this study will examine China’s strategic nuclear forces, and investigate the principal drivers of China’s declaratory policy, nuclear strategy, and nuclear doctrine.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[With the success of DRDC Toronto's Organizational Alignment Program and Professional Partnership Philosophy, the Technical Stream (TS) was presented with the challenge of providing a foundation for its success through the identification of their unique, integrated capabilities and the impact that they have towards achieving organizational impact. A secondary objective was to develop a TS vision statement that would be instituted within the Technical Council Charter. A project team of eight TS members, representing military and civilians from all sections, and a wide range of occupational groups and experience, developed a notional set of integrated capabilities and vision statements. These were presented to all Technical Professionals through a Town Hall meeting and published on Corporanet for review. Based on the feedback received, four current and four developing integrated capabilities and the Technical Stream vision statement were identified, and presented at the 2010 All Staff Briefing and subsequent Management Committee meeting. Based on positive reception and acceptance, a multi-phase notional roadmap was proposed to provide a strategy for future TS development. This roadmap is based on the themes of: a) upholding the Technical Profession, b) developing the Technical Professional, c) fostering a culture of collaboration and networks and 4) expanding the Technical Professional's influence.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This paper is the report of a review of selected works that were referred to in a 2007 survey of; methods to measure interoperability between military forces. It forms part of an effort to develop; a framework for assessing interoperability in command, control, computers, and communications.; The framework is being developed by the Joint Studies Operational Research Team, and is; sponsored by Assistant Deputy Minister (Information Management). For the framework, the; context of interest for interoperability was 5-Eyes (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United; Kingdom, and United States), at the strategic/operational level. The aim of this survey is to; identify and describe any content of those papers that potentially contributes to the framework.; The review was a limited success. The findings and recommendations are described in the; Executive Summary.; It was found that many of the papers concentrated on the Technical aspect of interoperability,; some directly technical, some very abstract. A few addressed human, organisational and policy; matters. Since the papers were all published no later than 2007, it seems likely that useful work; has been done since. The field is complicated by a plethora of definitions of interoperability.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This paper presents an analysis of a Reception, Staging and Onward Movement hub (RSOM-hub) concept to support Canadian Forces Major Air Disaster (MAJAID) operations in the North and provides insights into the optimal RSOM-hub locations. RSOM-hubs are permanent or temporary staging bases for cross-loading between strategic and tactical lift during military deployment and sustainment operations. In this study, performance measures were formulated to assess the effectiveness and the responsiveness of different RSOM-hub options to support MAJAID deployments. A simulation-based optimization model was also developed to determine the optimal number and locations of hubs in the North. The model was considered in a multi-objective framework and solution trade-offs were determined through an exhaustive search methodology. An illustrative scenario and associated data were used to simulate deployment lift to various MAJAID locations and to demonstrate the methodology. Sensitivity analysis was conducted to examine the impact of different operational parameters on hub performance and optimal locations. The study indicated that the optimal number of RSOM-hubs for MAJAID operations in the North would be two, corresponding to Iqaluit and Yellowknife.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Background: The buoyancy of CF jet aircrew LP/SV is unknown and may not provide the minimum 35 lbs that is required. The buoyant force of the British MK 30 LCX is also unknown; however, this flotation device utilizes a large bladder and may replace the LP/SV. Aim: The aim of this experiment was to calculate and compare the buoyant force of the CF LP/SV and the British MK 30 LCX. Methods: Bladders were inflated using either a 35g or a 45g CO2 canister. A Chatillon spring scale was used to measure the buoyant force following submersion. Results: The LP/SV and MK 30 LCX attained buoyant forces of 41 and 42 lbs respectively following inflation using a 35g CO2 canister, and 45 and 53 lbs respectively following inflation using a 45g CO2 canister. Conclusion: In all trials, both flotation devices produced buoyant forces greater that 35 lbs. The British MK 30 LCX produced larger buoyancy forces]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[While improvements have been made on Border Integrity Capabilities over time, significant gaps remain, particularly along the Great Lakes and St Lawrence Seaway. This study reports that, for the first time in Canada, law enforcement authorities on the Great Lakes and St-Lawrence Seaway were able to demonstrate the capability of wide-area surveillance and maritime domain awareness through the use of networked radar technology. While a recent study (PSTP-08-103BTS) demonstrated the technology’s ability to detect and track small vessels and low-flying aircraft, the G20 Summit in Toronto, a major complex national event, offered the opportutnity to extend the above study and test the contribution of the technology to border integrity under multi-jurisdictional operational conditions. This major event included a large number of users and stakeholders (RCMP, Great Lakes Marine Security Operations Centre, Toronto Police Services, and Department of National Defence) and provided a unique opportunity to test the value of the system in an international operational setting. While it was not possible to collect quantitative data during G20 Summit, it was agreed that qualitatitve data would be collected as part of the study. The results indicated that the networked radar technology increased the operational effectiveness as well as cost-effectiveness of the marine security efforts.

The scenario makes use of the CIT to present an overview of the current situation, presents a projection out to 2020 to set context for a security environment in which illegal trafficking via northern routes poses a significant challenge to security in the Arctic. It is designed to stimulate several functions and mandates involved in Canadian emergency response; and management, focusing on eliciting a Whole of Government (WoG) response. While all; efforts have been taken to present a plausible scenario, it is not based on any intelligence; assessments and is not intended to be considered a likely future.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Governments are increasingly requiring different agencies to work together in demanding circumstances using a whole of government or comprehensive approach. This paper applies a social and human perspective to examine how a meta-organization may be capable of enacting a comprehensive approach. The multi-disciplinary analyses integrate a number of disparate concepts to present speculative hypotheses that may be used to inform future research agendas. The initial section examines the problem space that requires comprehensive approaches with discussion of wicked problems, convergence and assemblage, and the management of the commons. The second major component assesses how agencies can be organized to deal with these issues with comparison of the hierarchical bureaucratic approach to that of professions and complex adaptive systems. The two subsequent sections present the implications for moving from traditional managerial structures to alternate organizational approaches with specific consideration of the human element. The key suggestion presented is that government-led comprehensive approaches likely require setting the conditions to enable the emergence of a constrained complex adaptive system as the appropriate framework to enable meta-organizational effectiveness. Implications for future research are provided in the domains of theory building, modelling and simulation, organizational analyses, lessons learned and professional development.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[British Columbia hosted the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games (V2010) between February 12 and 28, 2010. During this time, the Emergency Management British Columbia (EMBC) South West Provincial Regional Emergency Operations Centre (SWE PREOC) was activated in order to monitor and respond to incidents. Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) scientists observed SWE PREOC operations from a command and control (C2) perspective during the Games in order to provide feedback for improved operations. This paper describes the SWE PREOC’s role for V2010, the context for “normal” operations and the operating environment for the Olympics activation, and the methodology for C2 analysis. Two aspects of the activation made it unique: (1) the SWE PREOC activated for a planned event versus in response to emergency incidents, and (2) the SWE PREOC had to work with new and significant organizations for the Games, such as the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games (VANOC) and the Integrated Security Unit (ISU). The issues observed during operations and suggested recommendations for operations that may encounter similar types of issues are discussed, along with the impact of the deviations from normal SWE PREOC operations.; ;]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The effects of two advanced level-dependent communication devices on face-to-face speech intelligibility in military noises were investigated. Devices were the NACRE QuietPro and the PELTOR Powercom Plus. Noises from the LAVIII and Bison light-artillery vehicles were reproduced in a noise simulation room at 80-95 dBA. Over 45 subjects covering a wide range of hearing profiles from normal hearing to severe hearing loss were tested using sentences from the Hearing-In-Noise Test (HINT). When used as passive devices with the electronics powered off, the two devices performed as expected from conventional hearing protectors having the same amount of attenuation. In this mode, there were large performance differences among subject groups in terms of the effects of wearing the devices compared to unprotected listening. However, when used in active talk-through (or surround) mode, both devices showed large speech intelligibility benefits over the passive mode and demonstrated a level of performance often exceeding that in unprotected listening. The subject group with the most impaired hearing benefitted the most from the active mode. The findings indicate that the current technology of high-end tactical communication devices could provide substantial benefits in situational awareness during noisy military operations for all hearing grades.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The success of Canadian Forces operations relies on team members working cooperatively towards shared goals. It is commonly recognized that some form of shared knowledge contributes positively to team functioning, and as such the concept of team mental models (TMM) has been the focus of many research endeavours (e.g., Edwards et al., 2006; Marks et al., 2002; Mathieu et al., 2010). The purpose of this study was to investigate whether enhancing TMM, more specifically task models (knowledge on task procedures and strategies, potential contingencies and environmental constraints) and team interaction models (knowledge about roles and responsibilities, role interdependencies, information flow, etc.) improved team processes and performance in dynamic situations. Fifty-four participants took part in this study, for a total of 27 two-person teams. C3Fire, a simulation of forest firefighting, was used as task environment. Each team was assigned to one of three learning conditions meant to manipulate TMM: task (additional information on environmental dynamics pertinent to the firefighting task), team (additional information on the roles of each team member and possible interaction strategies) and control (no additional information). Task complexity was varied through transparency of courses of action (COA) to investigate whether it moderates the effect of TMM on team effectiveness.

Each team was assigned to one of three learning conditions meant to manipulate TMM: task (additional information on environmental dynamics pertinent to the firefighting task), team (additional information on the roles of each team member and possible interaction strategies) and control (no additional information). Task complexity was varied through transparency of courses of action (COA) to investigate whether it moderates the effect of TMM on team effectiveness. Measures of team performance and team processes were gathered. The results showed that the manipulation]]></dcterms:abstract>

The current study was undertaken to provide a Social Network Analysis of the flow of information (between interagency partners) on security-related issues prior to and during the Olympic Games. A chief goal of those mostly senior level officials involved in Olympic security planning was to acquire and convey information in order that sound decisions could be made. By measuring the structure of formal and informal relationships between interagency partners (e.g., who shared information with whom), this study assessed how well the leadership group was effectively collaborating to make decisions.

However, the CF’s history of working with, for example, NGOs, has been limited and may pose challenges to collaboration (Leslie, Gizewski, & Rostek, 2008). The purpose of this study was to 1) further understand the core issues that help or hinder civil-military collaboration, specifically involving the CF, NGOs, IOs, Afghan nationals, and the media, and 2) highlight recommendations for potential training and education for effective civil-military collaboration in the public domain. A number of subject matter experts (SMEs), representing diverse organizations and entities, both military (CF) and civilian (NGOs, IOs, Afghan nationals, the media), were consulted to elicit first-hand accounts of collaboration efforts in theatre. Results indicated that the CF did not effectively acknowledge their counterpart’s expertise and experience and that the CF should refrain from “taking charge” and telling others how to do their job.

While biometric surveillance systems are a type of stand-off biometric system, the two terms are not synonymous, as some stand-off systems call for cooperative subjects, since these will always produce improved performance metrics. Identification of cooperative subjects in stand-off applications is relevant in public safety applications ranging from employee access control to visitor identification at corrections facilities to positive and/or negative identification of travelers at an airport.

A secondary aim was to address concerns regarding future risk of musculoskeletal injury to SAR Techs working in the cargo compartment of a FWSAR aircraft. ; ; The full range of operational tasks performed by SAR Techs in the current FWSAR aircraft was observed at squadrons in Trenton, Ontario and Comox, British Columbia. Space critical aerial delivery tasks and four relevant types of equipment were selected for analysis, including postural and spinal load assessments of manual materials handling (MMH) and anthropometry based on current SAR Tech demographics. Potential risk of musculoskeletal injury to SAR Techs during operational tasks was evaluated. Results were used to provide guidance based on ergonomics principals, standards in the industry, and current operational FWSAR procedures. Relevant anthropometry, secular growth trends, personal protective equipment (PPE) and workspace dimensions were considered. ; ; Based on a 99th percentile SA]]></dcterms:abstract>

These buffers include an adherence to a meaningful cultural worldview and a secure sense of self-esteem. To date, TMT research has focused almost exclusively on personal mortality salience (MS); however, the present study aimed to understand the implications of threats made to the source of one’s anxiety buffer by creating a collective MS threat. Furthermore, the current study attempted to assess the impact of MS on personal beliefs about one’s own and others’ commitment to Canada, as well as domestic and foreign policies in situations where their Canadian identity was either primed or not. Civilian participants (N = 123) completed measures of implicit and explicit personal and collective self-esteem, were exposed to one of three MS conditions (control, personal MS, or collective MS) and one of two prime conditions (Canadian flag present or absent). While the Canadian identity prime had no impact on commitment to Canada or attitudes towards Canadian security, personal MS interacted with both implicit and explicit personal self-esteem in its impact on personal commitment towards Canada and beliefs about the others’ obligations towards Canada.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Challenging decision making environments such as those experienced by the Canadian Forces are commonly being characterized as “complex” by researchers (e.g., Grisogono, 2010). The main goal of this project was to determine whether research investigating complex decision making is relevant to the decision making actually experienced by Canadian Forces personnel, and how that research might be used to improve Canadian Forces education and training related to decision making. Complex decision making environments are characterized by requiring a series of interdependent decisions in a context which changes both autonomously and as a function of the actions of the decision maker, and where timing is a key element (e.g., decision makers may have to act at particular time in order to have their intended effect). Although factors identified in the complexity literature did appear to play a strong role in Canadian Forces decision making, further research is required to determine the relative role that these factors play in increasing decision making difficulty. Research identified additional challenges faced by Canadian Forces personnel which were not noted in the complexity literature, including challenges related to collaboration and communication. Other areas which pose significant challenges to CF personnel which appear to require additional education and training include planning and dealing with resource challenges.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[At the request of the Canadian Forces (CF) Health Services Group, Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) - Toronto conducted a literature review on the occupational limitations of monocular vision including recommendations for further work if required. The current CF vision standard for new recruits covers only near and far visual acuity and colour vision. The general entry standard for far visual acuity is a minimum of 6/9 corrected in the better eye and 6/60 corrected in the other eye. Based on that standard, anyone with monocular vision would be excluded automatically. Recently, this policy has been challenged on the grounds that not all military occupational categories require binocular vision. A review of the basic and applied literature and other standards indicated that monocular vision could impact performance on critical military tasks requiring good spatial vision, especially under low illumination and low contrast conditions. However, most of the research compared the performance of people with good visual acuity or contrast sensitivity in both eyes against the same people wearing an eye patch. Research using people with monocular vision finds smaller differences, and in the case of people enucleated early in life, equivalent performance.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[There has been a great deal of human factors research on unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in large due to a high number of operator related mishaps. However, there is very little research examining the unique human factors problems associated with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). The lack of research is surprising as there are frequent anecdotal accounts ROV entanglement, collisions, and failures. In addition, militaries are now using UUVs for search and rescue and mine countermeasure (MCM) operations and in the future, UUVs will take on critical roles in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), anti-submarine warfare (ASW) and even time critical strike operations. In this paper, it is argued that the underwater environment presents unique challenges to operating UUVs that are different from the challenges of UGV and UAV systems. Several common human factors problems are discussed when using UUVs, including the loss of sensory cues and spatial awareness, the control of the remote vehicle, problems with situation awareness and workload, problems with trust in automation, and challenges with human robot communication. In each case, these issues are discussed with respect to underwater operations.]]></description>

The 24 variables used for the factor analysis were selected from a comprehensive list of open-source databases obtained from the DRDC Toronto Technical Report 2008-167. The analysis produced a three-factor solution that explained the most variance and provided a theoretical interpretation in accordance to the already established definitions of good governance.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[In response to a request for technical advice by Public Safety Canada on behalf of national public safety stakeholders, the Centre for Security Science conducted a technical assessment of the 700 MHz spectrum requirements for broadband mobile data communications for public safety and security. The impetus to this assessment relates to the upcoming Industry Canada call for consultation SMSE-018-10. The goal was to determine how much spectrum is required to meet the needs of the public safety community for mobile broadband wireless data communications within a 20-year time frame. The data demand for recurring emergency situations was modeled through an interactive process with active participation from Canadian public safety stakeholders. In addition, the capabilities of LTE technology to support the data demands were also modeled. The results show that the amount of bandwidth required to satisfy the needs of public safety is greater than 20MHz in the near-to-mid term, and likely to also exceed 20MHz in the long term, despite advances in technology. This result is based on an analysis that applies relatively conservative estimates for the growth in demand for mobile data communications for public safety and security applications, and relatively aggressive estimates for the rate of technological improvement of spectrum efficiency projected into the future.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The Directorate of Land Requirements (DLR) is engaged in an acquisition process that will deliver a new Canadian Ranger Rifle (CRR) capability to the Canadian Forces (CF). The aim of this project was to assist the DLR in assessing the draft operational requirements and better define the overall CF requirement for a new CRR. Eight half-day workshops were held with 135 Canadian Ranger (CR) personnel from four of the five Canadian Ranger Patrol Groups (CRPG). The workshops were broken down into five modules: background information, weapon use inventory, performance requirements, basic technical requirements, and detailed technical requirements. The in-service Lee Enfield No 4 Mark 1* rifle is generally considered a durable, reliable, and accurate weapon but is faulted for its weight, age and availability of parts, and magazine. Protection from predators, hunting/survival tool, and a symbol of Canadian sovereignty/CR were the most important roles of the CRR. Reliability, accuracy, and durability in extreme environments were most important performance criteria. The basic and detailed technical requirements modules collected CR preferences on specific characteristics and features wanted in the new CRR. Results suggest the new CRR should be a bolt action of .308 Winchester / 7.62mm calibre that is shorter and weighs less than the current Lee Enfield.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Introduction: In the Canadian Forces (CF), injuries involving impact of the head within an enclosed space (a vehicle) are common and the possibility of cortical impact injuries in such cases is quite high. While conventional neuroimaging techniques may show normal results, cognitive problems are frequently reported by people who have sustained cortical impact or traumatic brain injury. In order to develop a comprehensive clinical diagnosis for return soldiers that might experience signs and symptoms of possible brain injury due to cortical impact, the present study aimed to compare motor vehicle accident (MVA) victims where cortical impact is prevalent to an age matched control group. All MVA victims were investigated using carefully selected neuroimaging and electrophysiological procedures together with a validated neurocognitive test battery. Results: 1) at the neuropsychological level, postconcussive symptoms (PCS) were the most notable complaints expressed by almost all patients; followed by symptoms of depression and anxiety. The majority of patients showed at least one motor deficit while the rest of their profile was mixed underlining differential effects on cognitive functions. There were no verbal memory deficits while the majority of MVA subjects showed problems with at least one visuospatial memory task; 2) with functional magnetic resonance imaging the results were consistent with our previous work.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[As Armed Non-State Actors (ANSAs) become increasingly involved in both perpetuating and resolving persistent social conflict, understanding the strategic decision making of these groups is critical. To address this issue, we conducted an extensive literature review focused on determining what is known regarding judgment and decision making approaches considered in the context of team, small group, and organizational settings. Our review resulted in the development of a guiding framework that draws upon group decision making literature, as well as specific facets of ANSA and terrorist decision making literature to identify the key antecedents to ANSA decision making, as well as the factors that may moderate the processes in which decisions are made. Specifically, such factors were categorized as group/organizational factors, individual factors, or contextual factors in the context of our framework, and their influence on group sensemaking, and in turn, decision making, were explored. These three broad categories encompass a range of factors that can influence ANSA decision making, providing a streamlined lens through which we can begin to understand it and make valuable predictions. Our framework thus sets the stage for future research as well as the development of training interventions designed to understand and influence ANSA decision making.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This report summarizes the results of a literature review conducted to recommend suitable adaptation mechanisms for an intelligent tutoring system (ITS). Intelligent Tutoring technologies have been identified by Defence Research & Development Canada – Toronto as an effective training aid for the Canadian Forces (CF). A specific CF training course, the Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD) Operator Course, has been identified as a target for the implementation and evaluation of intelligent tutoring technologies. The review involved surveying and synthesizing applicable literature to develop recommendations and best practices pertaining to the integration of these technologies into an ITS for the IEDD Operator Course to improve questioning skills. The recommended four adaptation mechanisms for implementation into the IEDD ITS were as follows:; •	Eye-tracking technologies to support attention tracking;; •	Cognitive learning styles to support customization of the learning environment; ; •	Psychophysiological indices to support cognitive state motoring; and ; •	Performance measures to support engagement tracking.;]]></description>

It uses computational model of semantic system to create “meaning” representations of all the words/terms it encounters in the collection—including proper names. In this report we demonstrate that the semantic representation of proper names discussed in a document collection can be usefully queried to find out how strongly the entities are associated with a set of user-define qualities or concepts.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[Crew members’ hazardous attitudes (including invulnerability to stressors) have been identified as possible contributing factors to many aviation accidents, and a great deal of research in this area thus far has been directed toward developing effective training programs to modify them to reflect realistic and positive attitudes towards flight safety. Yet little research has explored the role of flight experience and risk-taking attitudes in explaining hazardous attitudes, especially outside the context of general aviation. The current work extends existing research by examining the hazardous attitudes of glider instructors. It also investigates the role played by flight experience and risk-taking attitudes in predicting the instructors’ hazardous attitudes, considering both the linear and curvilinear relationships between flight experience and hazardous attitudes. These cross-sectional data, originating from 144 current and past glider instructors from five Regional Gliding Centres across Canada, provided partial support for the hypotheses. Of note were the significant quadratic components of the overall main effect of flight experience on hazardous attitudes. As well, greater risk-taking attitudes were significantly related to greater negative attitudes toward human factors, as was a basic knowledge of human factors. I summarize the findings and present limitations of the study as well as suggestions for future research.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The Canadian Underwater Minecountermeasures (MCM) Apparatus (CUMA) was introduced into CF service in 1991 and is widely used by other Navies under the commercial name of SIVA+. Despite its success, both within the CF and abroad it is now apparent that emergency procedures were not fully researched at the time of its introduction. Subsequent research into Severe Decompression Accidents (SDA) has shown that previous emergency procedures were not sufficient to safely decompress a diver during an emergency ascent from deep or long, shallow dives. As a result of this, other decompression procedures have been instituted, based on research and practices adopted from other nations. Another option is to give the diver the option of decompressing safely in the water. This will be done using a completely independent and alternative breathing system known as the Auxiliary Gas Supply (AGS) in case of complete diving set failure. The AGS will allow the diver to decompress using existing operational tables rather than extended emergency tables. The AGS will deliver a 40% Oxygen and 60% Nitrogen mix, which will facilitate Helium off-gassing following the same proven principal used in CF Surface Supply diving.; Validation experiments were conducted between June 2002 and November 2003 over four series of dives. Doppler scores from the 202 man dives showed no significant difference in observed bubble scores between those dives that had used the AGS to decompress and the data from previous dives]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This project evaluated novel small-volume hypertonic fluids for combat resuscitation for improvement in patient survivability and reduction of the post-traumatic inflammatory response, and for reducing overall fluid volume requirements. The outcome has demonstrated that there is no clinically significant difference in resuscitating shock and traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients with either normal or hypertonic saline. However, from a military operational medical care perspective, the less than 10% hypertonic fluid volume (versus normal saline volume) required to generate the same clinical outcome confers a substantial logistical advantage in the field.

Subjects learned to classify pictures of soldiers as friend or foe through trial-and-error learning then completed a test session designed to allow inference of subjects’ decision strategies. In both experiments, subjects completed a condition in which they performed a simultaneous secondary task designed to consume executive working memory capacity [35], either at the time of test (Experiment 1) or during the training session (Experiment 2). In both cases, subjects exhibited slower responses when performing the secondary task than in a control condition, indicating that the secondary task competed for cognitive resources. The presence of the secondary task, however, produced significantly slower responses for those subjects classified as using a simple heuristic as opposed to a more complex compensatory strategy, which is consistent with research linking heuristics to a deliberate classification system and compensatory strategies to an automatic system. The secondary task manipulation, however, did not affect the proportions of subjects using the heuristic and compensatory decision rules.

Of the JIMP dimensions, the "public" aspects, which include non-governmental organizations (NGOs), may pose some of the greatest challenges in terms of interacting with non-military players. While many theories regarding these tensions exist, few studies have explored the issue thoroughly from a Canadian perspective, and few studies have examined the potentially positive aspects of the military-NGO relationship. The purpose of this pilot study was to begin to explore the perspectives of NGO workers and CF members on the relationship between NGOs and the CF, in particular as it pertains to their collaboration in theatre.

The current study compared the response times (RT) to visual, auditory and combined (audiovisual) alerts as subjects performed a visual divided attention task using three displays (secondary task). Another objective was to investigate any effects of alert type on the performance of the secondary task. The experiment was performed in quiet and in recorded frigate control room noise (69 dBA). There were no significant differences in RT for visual and audiovisual alert in quiet or noise. The RT for the auditory alert was significantly higher than the audiovisual alert in quiet, and than both the visual and audiovisual alerts in noise. There was no main effect of alert type on the performance of the secondary task. The audiovisual alert could be beneficial for detection in the operations room because 1) the RT was not significantly different from the visual alert, indicating that the auditory component was not distracting, and 2) it is more likely to be detected over the visual alert when the operators are looking away from the displays.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The Directorate Technical Airworthiness and Engineering Support 6 tasked Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) – Toronto to provide a preliminary summary of human factors issues related to the control of uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs) in support of the Canadian Forces Joint Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Surveillance Target Acquisition System (JUSTAS) project. This was carried out by performing a literature review, and consulting with subject matter experts. The human factors topics discussed are organizational influences, operator influences, and human-system integration issues. The key findings were: (1) human factors play a major role in UAV mishaps, (2) operator vigilance is required in automated UAV control, (3) recent increases in long-endurance UAV operations have necessitated shift work schedules to man the GCS around-the-clock that has caused UAV operators to experience fatigue leading to serious implications on health and performance, (4) a ground control station interface that supports a multimodal display (i.e., an interface that uses visual, auditory, and tactile cues) can enhance operator performance, and, (5) prior pilot experience may not be a mandatory criterion for selecting individuals for operating the Predator UAV. This report concludes by proposing short- and long-term recommendations for defining future requirements in support of the JUSTAS project.]]></description>

The complex and dynamic nature of various types of operations (e.g., effects-based operations, stability operations, counter-IED, counter-insurgency) pose specific cognitive challenges on the decision-making process that the current training regimen of military commanders does not directly address. This project serves to provide understanding of underlying cognitive mechanisms within DDM as a contribution to determining how best to improve the DDM process and training. A brief review of four recognition processes, namely pattern recognition, cue integration, heuristics, and biases, was conducted as Phase I of a two phase process. Based on this review, cue integration was selected as an area of key interest and was the focus of a more comprehensive review (Phase II). Results from this review indicated that the cue integration literature within DDM is sparse.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[A one-day workshop was held at RMC to explore social research methods for hostile, difficult, deceptive and dangerous environments within which government pursues security objectives. Four panels addressed: qualitative anthropological methods within a theatre; financial analysis to assess the environment surrounding a theatre; police tools in domestic operations; and the use of polls and surveys in difficult environments. A final session permitted practitioners to comment on the material. Practitioners, academics, and government officials discussed these issues without being individually identified. Interviews, focus groups, combat ethnography, and insider-outsider research can help to map social microcosms within a theatre. Financial analysis tools can help to provide a more comprehensive context for these microcosms, and also track individuals and enterprises with security implications. Police tools are tailored to find usable evidence and domestic courts shape practice, limiting applicability of these tools to foreign operations. Polls and surveys should be tailored to the social context of their targets and validated. Often indirect questions are more effective.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[A recent Advisory Publication (ADV PUB Number ASMG 6000, 7 Jan 2010) on Fatigue Countermeasures in Sustained and Continuous Operations recommended that all Air and Space Interoperability Council (ASIC) nations should have national policies regarding fatigue management. Currently, there is no existing doctrine and training program for fatigue risk management available in the Canadian forces (CF). The focus of this document is on the management of sleep hygiene and circadian entrainment, rather than physical, muscle fatigue, or fatigue at the cellular level. Recommendations for fatigue management are based on best practices derived from the latest scientific findings and the collation of appropriate common policies from other military forces that will enable aircrew to perform at their best. It includes a series of summaries that address what is and what is not known regarding the efficacy, implementation and limitation associated with fatigue countermeasures commonly employed. A stratified approach is adopted to ensure that promotion of sleep is the first priority under routine fatigue management, followed by generally approved pharmacological intervention.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This document provides a description of the Information Processing (IP)/Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) model implemented in the Integrated Performance Modelling Environment software by Micro Analysis and Design (IPME). The current document is an edited and reduced version of an earlier report. In the current document, an attempt has been made to improve readability through a reorganisation of the material and the elimination of content that is not central to understanding the function of the IP/PCT model within IPME. The essence of the IP model is that all factors that impact on human cognitive workload can be reduced to their effects on the amount of information to be processed and the amount of time available before the decision has to be actioned. From this position, it can be shown that if humans are limited at the rate at which they process information then operator workload, performance, and error production are all functions of the time pressure. The IP Model is about time and the information to be processed. ; The PCT Model argues that humans behave as multi-layered closed loop control systems. The set points for these control loops are our perceptual goals (or how we want to see, hear, feel, taste, or smell the state of the world). According to PCT, we sense the world state, forming a perception of that state which we then compare with our goal.

Twelve participants were required to undertake a battery of human factors tests while wearing the current in-service helmet (CG634) or one of the AMMPHS prototype mandibles in a blocked repeated measures design. During each test, the order of conditions was only partially balanced due to the lack of available resources and mandible prototypes. Human factors tests included assessments of fit, comfort, range of motion, field of view, performance of select battle tasks, and equipment, vehicle and clothing compatibility.

The objective of this project is to examine the public aspect of the Joint, Interagency, Multinational, & Public (JIMP) paradigm, which is a relatively new focus for many militaries and poses the greatest challenge in terms of interfacing with non-military players; moreover, the costs of losing the ‘hearts and minds’ of a local population has significant implications for mission success and for the security of the soldiers deployed in counterinsurgency contexts. The present study represents a pilot study that will support a subsequent larger study examining trust violations and trust repair between military organizations and the local population that the military is assisting.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[The Integrated Concept Working Group (ICWG) was established in April 2008 under the authority of the Chief of Force Development (CFD). Its mandate is to provide a forum for L1 Force Developers to share, discuss, construct and review new concepts, as well as to serve as an advisory body to CFD on emerging issues prior to being presented at the Capability Development Board (CDB). The ICWG is intended to complement concept work currently ongoing in the CF, and, through its integrated and collaborative approach, to bring coherence to the process of developing high-level operational concepts within the Horizon 2-3 timeframe.

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This document presents a preliminary heuristic evaluation of the Hyperspectral Operational Support Tool (HOST) v3.0a user interface, which was designed for hyperspectral imagery analysts. Results of the interface evaluation recommend two main problem areas to address: first, enforcing a more structured file and image management convention; and second, creating a tighter mapping between objects in the control window and visualization window. A solution would be to utilize a layered image file or project file to address these problems, although either of these solutions may require developers to move away from the Environment for Visualizing Images (ENVI) platform upon which the HOST is currently based. The design of the user interface could benefit from additional independent evaluations, a large scale usability test and a formal task analysis with Subject Matter Experts.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[This study was designed to identify the optimal size and spacing of push-button controls for use by divers when wearing neoprene gloves in cold water. Four keypads having different size and spacing of buttons were tested in three environmental conditions. Ten subjects completed two different tests of speed and accuracy in air and in 25&#61616;C water with no gloves and in 4&#61616;C water with neoprene gloves. Results showed that there were main effects of keypad size and environment on performance and an interaction effect between keypad and environment. Responses were slower and less accurate in 4&#61616;C water with gloves than in air or 25&#61616;C water (p<0.05). Responses were also slower in 25&#61616;C water than in air (p<0.05). A keypad having 10 mm button size and 20 mm spacing (centre to centre) was found to be optimal when wearing gloves in cold water; there was no significant improvement in performance with larger keypads. Using a stylus to operate a smaller keypad improved accuracy when wearing gloves in 4&#61616;C water, but proved impractical without ergonomic design improvements. It is concluded that keypads designed for use in air are not optimal for use underwater.]]></description>

<description xml:lang="en-ca" ><![CDATA[A four&#8722;day field trial was undertaken at CFB Edmonton over the period of June 12 to 16 2006 to evaluate the difference between constant and variable thickness ballistic visors. Twenty infantry soldiers, regular (n=5) and; reserve (n=15) force, of various Canadian units were required to undertake a battery of human factors tests while wearing two different visor conditions in a fully balanced repeated measures design. The trial was split into three phases: the clinical testing, trial overview, and scale explanation; dynamic activities; and focus group. Evaluation exercises included an obstacle course, wooded lane course, vehicle course, urban vehicle patrol course, night patrol course, and FIBUA assault. The participants rated visual characteristics, visual acuity, and task acceptability of the visors for each evaluation exercise. Data collection included target detection performance measures, acceptability ratings, preference rankings, and focus group. Overall, a constant; thickness ballistic visor was preferred by participants to a variable thickness ballistic visor for the majority of the human factors criteria. Objective target detection performance data showed no differences between the visors.; Clothe the Soldier (CTS) Project is recommended to proceed with the requirement for a constant thickness ballistic visor for the integrated ocular and upper face protection.]]></description>
