Enhancing the Army Operations Process Through the Incorporation of Holography

Abstract

In order to dominate our opponents on the battlefield, the Army must have an agnostic technology that can quickly grow. Mission command information systems must be able to extend across multiple environments regardless of a commonality in hardware. The human dimension must be met at each domain (human, land, maritime, air, space, cyber) by an information system that augments the process. The focus needs to be on data delivery at the process in need over an approved secure based hardware. Holography is the future of mission command for the commanders, staff and soldiers allowing a distributed environment for all operations. Cognitive load is greatly reduced allowing for commanders, staff and soldiers to focus on the process and not on a computer screen. The process is no longer split between trying to take data and mentally overlaying it onto the process. Data now augments reality and is a noninvasive process to decision making.
