GDTA Goal Hierarchy for Emergency Response
After the events of September 11th, 2001, the need to formally analyze Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive device (CBRNE) events to lay the framework for improvement through the use of technology is great. This project involved using several analysis techniques, including Goal-Directed Task Analysis (GDTA), modified Cognitive Work Analysis (mCWA), and Cognitive Information Flow Analysis (CIFA) in order to develop an understanding of the CBRNE response in its current state. The intent of these analyses was to provide direction for the incorporation of novel technology and robotic systems to improve the CBRNE response.
