Team Isosceles ISTAR TestbedISTAR Testbed
A two year research programme for DEC(ISTAR) with two parallel aims:
• To Design and Build an ISTAR concept evaluation and live experimentation capability for long term use.
• To Experiment, i.e. to use the capability to address high priority ISTAR issues.

“Heavy investment in front line capabilities will not be fully realised without a commensurate improvement in
our ability to provide near real time, 24 hour information in all weathers….
Currently, our ISTAR assets provide discrete capabilities; there is no Joint ISTAR capability.”

The Military Need for the ISTAR TestbedThe Military Need for the ISTAR Testbed
• Significant new ISTAR systems entering service from 2005 onwards
• Integration effort is required to realise full collection potential, in order to enhance Commander's SA
• TT&Ps must be developed to facilitate the ISTAR “System of Systems” capability.

Team Isosceles Experiment Conduct Lessons (1)Experiment Conduct Lessons (1)
• Should not underestimate requirements and time for initial training and player briefing.
• HICON involvement in data production highly desirable.
• A respected military experiment director works well for player briefing and marshalling.
• Strong directorship needed when encouraging players to throw aside current practice.
• A single experiment should not attempt to combine :-
– experimentation to support concept/process development
– experimentation to evaluate concept/process.
• If experiment time is short extensive care is needed to develop the starting state.
• Measuring/ observing reaction to specific situations (e.g. asset overload) needs careful preparation/prediction and dynamically controlled injection/observation.

Team Isosceles Experiment Conduct Lessons (2)Experiment Conduct Lessons (2)
• The role of observers varies significantly with the type of experiment
• The players will get there on time (or earlier) and want to start straight away.
• System switch-on at the end of each day causes problems (both time and reliability) – security procedures to overcome this are required.
• Remote monitoring of player activity by EXCON is highly desirable.
• Need to be able to accommodate simple data changes during the experiment.
• Control of visitors is important (disruption, photographs, handouts)
• Anything planned for the final afternoon is ‘risky’.

Team Isosceles A spin-off benefitA spin-off benefit
• In most military collective training exercises the intelligence staff get used to help control the exercise.
• That means that the intelligence staff only get their own specific training and then live operational experience.
• The involvement of real operators in ISTAR Testbed experiments provides them with a valuable additional collective training experience.
