      I've been in FEMA EOCs and some of the DHS fusion centers. They look pretty similar. Lots of computers, lots of big screens. No gigantic fixed map, but there are a bunch of big meteorological consoles.

      They have a bunch of folks attached, military (USACE always has folks even at the smaller ones due to the flood control systems), DHS, Guard reps too, state guys, DOJ folks at some.

      The room of the big one I went to was very large but it didn't have huge ceilings like this because it was several floors underground. Actually had a big door you could close to seal it up. I assume this was Cold War shut, I don't see them justifying the expense today for something that is overwhelmingly used for hurricanes and tornado response.

      NCTC looks more like that actually. It's supposed to help with quick information flow but it fricking sucks to work in day to day. Plus, pooling everyone in one spot undermines the point of the ICS span of control, at least psychologically.

      Still thought it was cool back then. Civil defense is really under appreciated in the US due to our low risk of ever needing it, but when we do aid programs we should focus more of the fact that getting the power and heat back on quickly after attacks, being able to deal with mass casualty events, bring damaged infrastructure back up, etc. is essential to a war effort when you're attacked on your own soil.

      But it is underappreciated so I left for your more traditional security work. They have a bit of a brain drain and burnout problem. Burnout because you work 12 hours a day (or more) 7 days a week on deployments and accomodations can suck at first because there is little power, gas etc. Been stuck in barracks before

        if that setup does something useful like maybe minimising footprint to maximise workstations, then fine. but as it is, it's pointless; there's zero reason why the setup in OP has to be that way, as it would occupy exactly as much footprint as if they had faced the main screen. even if the job need not refer to the main screen, it restricts that workstation only to that kind of job; the workstation can not be repurposed to one that references the main screen often. WHY?!

        it's pretty functional actually

        , it's near ideal. Everyone faces the front. Maximise vertical space by stacking balconies. Use side space for service functions such as doors, NOT for conference rooms. Conference rooms line the back, so that they can view the main screen head-on.

        Yeah this basically looks like you would want it to tbh. It's uniform to the point that I question how much the workstations are actually used but I don't think there's any major fault with the layout.

      I think NASA's mission control center had way more of an influence than this 80's movie. Any military command center was highly classified during the cold war, especially in the 60's, while NASA was completely open to the public. NASA's MCC was the only command center any writer could find for reference.

          Combat information centres were way more advanced by 1945 than mere offices. (The earliest ones were very primitive, sometimes with the radar plotting officer basically balancing his map on his knees.)

        Reading about how their consoles worked at the time is amazing. All those displays are actually just television being piped to their desk from projected images elsewhere in the facility being generated by a combination of physical slides and mainframe number outputs. Most of those buttons just switch the displays, though some could send commands directly to the spacecraft. They could also light up or flash if signals from the mainframe said that certain values were above or below defined limits, which would prompt the operator to switch to the display and then check which values had gotten out of limits (if I recall they were underlined or boxed by the computer so they were easier to pick out).
        >them on the CRT.

        The numbers were just that, though. No column headings, no labels, no descriptive text, no formatting, no cell outlines, no nothing—bare, unadorned columns of numbers. In order to make them more understandable, an automated mechanical system would retrieve an actual physical slide containing printed column headings and other formatting reference information from a huge bank of such slides, and place the slide over a light source and project it through a series of lenses into the video camera positioned above the CRT. The mixed image, made up of the CRT's bare columns and the slide containing the formatting, was then transmitted to the controller's console screen as a single video stream.
        And they basically changed the channel to view different data screens.

    >No beverages on table

    Total photo-op propaganda. Those fricking dudes would have ashtrays and drinks everywhere if they were actually doing anything. Shit looks like they rented the banquet hall of a Hilton.

    That command center looks moronic and poorly mismanaged on space use. Also it's too fricking bright.

    Meh its okay but as others have pointed out you have 1/3rd of the people who cant look at the main screen.

    If you look at those 4 middle rows, the last 2 consoles on both sides are empty.

    Looks like they cleared a school auditorium and put some cardboard desks there.

    the little raised podium for the commander's single desk and the tilted map in front of him looks like they wanted to make a budget version of the Nerv command center

      They're actually trying to make friends, believe it or not.

      They have a weird notion of hierachy though, in that they are trying to show China is worthy to be friends with first world countries and militaries

      Not like poo shitty India though, these frickers will sidle up and redeem everything
