Shared Situation Awareness (SSA) Measurement

SA Technologies proposes to advance the Navy’s capacity to accurately, efficiently, and reliably assess naval tacticians performance, decision-making and Shared Situation Awareness (SSA) in an evaluation environment by bringing forth a comprehensive framework that addresses (a) the main factors affecting team performance in dynamic environments with high data uncertainty, (b) the objective and subjective performance assessment dimensions related to team performance factors, and (c) the individual and team performance metrics obtained from the assessed performance dimensions. To that aim, SA Technologies proposes to identify the technical requirements for a Navy assessment tool by conducting a domain analysis that will identify the most effective assessment tools to meet the Navy’s needs. Validation of existing SA requirement analyses will support the development of relevant measures. Finally, SA Technologies will draw upon its current evaluation tools and database structures to develop a plan to incorporate isolated methodologies into a comprehensive individual and team assessment tool.
