Information System and Aerial Warfare: Enhancing Decision Making in Extreme Circunstances

International audienceThis article investigates the potential offered by information system to improve the quality of decision making in extreme circumstances. The literature commonly mentions models of fit to explore technology-to-performance issues, reckoning users' evaluations as a relevant measurement technique for information system success. Drawing on such approaches, this article aims at providing some valuable insights to assess the benefits of a networked decision support system for decision makers, and offering a better understanding of how and why these improvements arise. An original case study considering usages of a networked decision support system called Link 16 during aerial missions has been conducted. It led to suggest an appropriate decisional model, the decisional fit model, which provides new perspectives to explore the effects of networked technologies on decision performance
