Information Delivery and Display for Shared Awareness in the Net Centric Battlespace

Future military operations will continue to be Joint and Coalition efforts in the 21st century, thus the transformation of data into actionable knowledge and its fusion into a common operational picture is critical for all of our Services and allies. To support commanders faced with this complex problem, Securboration Inc. working closely with Klein Associates is pleased to propose the Sensemaking Common Operational Picture Environment (SCOPE). The focus of this effort is to convert the wealth of information available in FORCEnet into actionable knowledge based on the Sensemaking theory[1] developed by Klein Associates. SCOPE combines an innovative application based on Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA), Sensemaking theory, Ontology modeling, and cognitive science to improve the speed and quality of both individual and group decision-making. In Phase I the Securboration team plans to develop the requirements for SCOPE, an initial architecture to support SCOPE and a proof of concept based on a Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) scenario to validate SCOPE approach.
