Human, Social and Culture Behavior (HSCB) Modeling Advanced Development

Abstract

This program is focused on demonstrating general-use, cross-domain capabilities/tools to support all HSCB application areas. It will demonstrate: computational modeling capabilities; visualization software toolsets; and training/mission rehearsal systems that provide forecasting capabilities for socio-cultural (human terrain) responses at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. The resulting technologies will provide, 1) cultural understanding/overlays in existing intelligence, influence operations, and operations planning systems; 2) training and mission rehearsal capabilities that go beyond strategic level planning tools (to the operational and tactical levels), providing broader, more in depth training/retention capability. A technical assessment capability is established across all program line items and is a means for assessment of discrete technologies as they are developed. Modeling capabilities generate and technically demonstrate validated adversaries to populate "what if" analyses for forecasting reactions of a defined class of adversaries to U.S./ coalition actions. Strategic decision making tools are technically demonstrated to highlight political, religious, cultural, and related factors. Training/mission rehearsal systems are capable of using flexible underlying cultural models to train at the operational/tactical level. Integration and demonstration of social, cultural and human behavior/cognition skills training systems for operational and strategic planning personnel in a coalition force context. Visualization software toolsets are used as strategic decision making tools that will account for political, religious, cultural, and other factors. A common architecture visualization tool vertically integrates cultural information into a military operational environment.
