It has to clearly show hierarchy, what is the point of being a bugman working for the hive if you can't have the raised floor or at least the diagonal tables
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
our command centers tend to be smaller. Look at NASA's modern one vs the old one. new is a few dual monitor workstations, the old one looks like a nuclear power plant switching station operating on vac tubes. the addition of modern tech cuts a bunch down in terms of staffing, and removes the need for the old fashioned giant physical map. Just project that shit on a screen bro
It looks like it is supposed to look good, but having that many people in a space that large all talking at the same time fricking sucks.
Head honcho is never going to talk to the chinksect on the console way the frick in the back, so why is he in the same room?
Booz Allen Hamilton had a holographic projected 3D interactive map that they were showing off to high school students visiting their headquarters back in 2009. I have to imagine that kind of shit is also possible in China. Or maybe they're too far behind in their tech tree. Who knows.
The PLA's joint operations command center. The brain of the Chinese military.
Look pretty good, huh?
Why do all of these look like they're meant for public consumption?
I feel like a real command center would be closer to a CIC on a warship where things are more cramped, there's fewer giant screens and a lot more black backgrounds with green text every military is so fond of
>printer placed next to the workstation
Makes sense >4 printers placed in front of the big screen so you have to awkwardly walk to them and get your shit while someone is presenting something on it
What the frick why
>Why can't they have decent UIs and be convenient?
50px+ wide padded out flat garbage helvetica does not constitute a decent UIs.
you people are the reason modern computing sucks dick with your troony electron-based garbage.
>Decent uis
Those UIs are all functional, no flashy bullshit. I know because I've programmed ones a lot like that. VERY information dense and absolutely ZERO aesthetics. Its all about information presentation and functionality.
Would the War Room work as a the main part of a command centre? The table is large enough that you'd have to shout across it, but you can solve that with microphones. I suppose it's annoying that everyone on one side has to swivel their chairs to see the Big Board, but it doesn't seem to convey much anyway unless you're currently nuking Russia and/or being nuked.
>a third of the staff have their backs to the screen for no apparent reason >the other third have to view at an angle >the fricking executive conference rooms are sideways as well >only one guy gets the big view >there aren't even rooms behind him, just wall
>no apparent reason
maybe the ones looking the other way are doing a job which doesn't depend on the information on the big screen in the front.
and if something important happens on the big screen and they do actually need to see it, they just spin around.
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?!
Look at Putin's war room
https://i.imgur.com/EJ2bAk9.jpg
this one?
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.
yup
more recent photos showed that some workstations at least now have multiple monitors
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.
Obviously a staged photo (nobody is doing any work except for a few of them).
But that command center looks workable and professional compared to the LARP bugmens CC.
The layout is okay. It's a bit wasteful by using only 2-man workstations instead of long tables where you can fit 5-6 people and arrange their stations according to what they need, but it's not stupidly bad.
I wouldn't mind this. Give it a non-Russian/non-corrupted budget so they can actually afford more than 1x monitor per station and some seats that don't make your back sweat 5 hours into a 12 hour watch and I would mind working there. The fact there are aisles every two stations means you can actually get out without have to scooch out and try to shuffle out behind five people every time you want to go get coffee or talk to someone at the other end of the hall BECAUSE THEY WONT MONITOR THEIR FRICKING CHAT.
Workspaces don't help when you have shit you have to monitor at all times and your IT department is too bureaucratically slow and/or too colossally inept to make software changes that could assist in helping you actually do your job. At some point monitor 1 becomes the "place where I actually work" monitor and monitor 2 you keep an eye on from your peripheral vision if anything flashes.
A lot of modern work now is basically transferring info from one system to another, and often windows are so big that multiple monitors are needed for greater efficiency

ancient public use PCs often had setups like that because the mouse is one less thing to secure, but there was a resurgence in popularity at one point - when USB peripherals became a thing
- because of a fear of mice loaded with viruses
Yeah, this is the real deal. It gets used so much that people leave small personal belongings at their station, Nothing is uniform, everything is individualized. And most of all:
Count the coffee machines in the room. That's how you know it's actually being used.
It's also less crowded when there's not a international exercise being held.
The other interesting thing I'd note, with these two images demonstrating; all the desks are movable, and stuff gets rearranged as necessary and groups are formed and personnel and equipment delegated to them, rather than stations being rigidly set in their location with preset equipment (OPs pic) or moving people around a more open environment that has the concession of needing all stations being the same and having more than are needed (The Russian one)
I would posit that the layouts reflect the doctrines of the armies that make them.
Pretty comfy, honestly. The command center places I've been to often have these cube type setups to them as well that help teams have their own areas, yet they're still in the same room as everyone else. Everyone personalizes their spaces, lots of flags, symbology, white boards with ideas or plans written on them, its how you know this picture is real.
>Looks pretty good, huh?

Looks like the bad guys command center out of a 1970's era James Bond movie.
They're just missing the big tittied blonde in a rubberized body suit, sharks swimming in pools and James Bond himself in a white tuxedo holding his iconic Walther PPK.
Do they have they same goddamn set up as the Russians that requires their guy at the desk to use fricking binoculars to have an idea of whats going on?
Wargames (1983) still has the best war room, real or imagined. It was the most expensive set at the time of it's construction, and made visitors to NORAD remark that the real thing was outdated and unimpressive. The movie even inspired Reagan to start taking cyber security seriously.
I think you can see its influence in all of the photos of modern war rooms in this thread.
everyone who has gone to a war command center has said its smaller than they expected. t. saw one and said it, and immediately heard someone else say that
>I think you can see its influence in all of the photos of modern war rooms in this thread.
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.
>just upgraded offices of WW1
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.)
Anyway, NASA mission control looks more impressive and less cluttered.

https://arstechnica.com/science/2012/10/going-boldly-what-it-was-like-to-be-an-apollo-flight-controller/
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.
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.
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

I question the need for the giga sized physical map in the middle.
Seems like something that should just be digital in 2010+ but what do I know.
I think it's a topographic map that shows mountains valleys etc
Booz Allen Hamilton had a holographic projected 3D interactive map that they were showing off to high school students visiting their headquarters back in 2009. I have to imagine that kind of shit is also possible in China. Or maybe they're too far behind in their tech tree. Who knows.
if you think anyone does anything here you are moronic. those are farmers dressed up for stock footage
if your computer setup looks like it belongs in power stations, then it sucks
Why do all of these look like they're meant for public consumption?
I feel like a real command center would be closer to a CIC on a warship where things are more cramped, there's fewer giant screens and a lot more black backgrounds with green text every military is so fond of
the first one is a functional mission command, the second one (OP) is obvious LARP. if it's not obvious why, I'm sorry, just look at it, it's a mess
CICs are cramped because space is at a premium on a ship. There's no reason to build so small on land.
