Enhancing Tactical Decision-Making in Navy Seal Operations

Our solution to creating a quick response, collaborative capability among Navy SEAL teams is centered upon a system that will provide the SEALs with direct collaboration support, automated collaboration support, intelligence surveillance reconnaissance (ISR), capture and access support, facilitation of distributed command and control (C2), and automated reporting. In an effort to maximize effectiveness of this system in the SEALs operational environment, these benefits will be implemented on a wearable computing environment that will allow the operator to maintain situational focus without distraction. There are several different types of events including intelligence, dialog, status, and mission events that are capture, monitored, and rapidly communicated to all members of the SEAL team as well as the Tactical Operations Center. This enables faster and seamless data automation and collaboration in a hostile environment. Additionally, this system will allow for intelligent event management that generates events automatically with respect to the current situation. By developing an easily integrated collaborative capability, this system will provide the SEAL teams with a best of breed technological interface that will dramatically increase team lethality while reducing the associated risk to any given mission.
