During the simulation session, the commander in charge allocates air-borne and standby resources and dispatches or diverts aircraft to intercept intruders. The simulation was used as a test-bed for 74 experiments involving information evaluation through performance measurement. The subjects were top IAF commanders. The major findings indicate that complete information usually improves performance. Time pressure usually, but not always, impairs performance.
Top commanders tend to make fewer changes in previous decisions than do field commanders.
