ABSTRACT
The combination of Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork and coding-based modelling was again used in order to explore the similarities and differences between two teams' completion of a Close Air Support mission, one effective and one resulting in an incident of fratricide. The chapter discusses the differences in communication between the less effective and the more effective teams and suggested that these differences could be explained from a DSA perspective, arguing that in large diverse teams not everyone needs to know everything. The main principle of DSA is that people interact with the world around them and DSA is a resultant emergent property of this interaction. The theory of DSA has been successfully applied to numerous domains, including aviation, energy distribution, Command and Control and anaesthesia. The computer system at the training institution at which the case study occurred automatically collects a series of data.
