In order to evaluate situation awareness (SA) in a Navy shipboard command and control environment, a model-based framework is being developed based on the foundation of an established technique. An executable cognitive model is used to generate interruption points and probe questions by executing in realtime in parallel with the evaluated individual. The model identifies when critical events occur (or could occur) and also determines what information is critical to identifying these situations and making required decisions. The model instigates interruptions of performance in the simulation environment and presents appropriate probe questions. An empirical exercise was undertaken in order to provide data on the design of this SA assessment instrument for the target command and control application. Subject matter experts (SMEs) were employed to identify critical events and information in simulation scenarios and those specifications were used to provide guidance for the development of the model-based SA assessment technique.
