The Command and Control Workstation of the Future; Subsurface and Periscope Views

Abstract

Today's tactical commander needs to assimilate enormous amounts of information to make reasonable decisions. Graphics displays can be a valuable tool in conveying such information in a clear and concise manner. Our vehicle for studying such displays is a project entitled the command and control Workstation of the Future (CCWF). In this study, we focus on the subsurface and periscope views. Our primary goal is to provide the tactical commander with an interactive, user-friendly, 3D simulation system to assist in decision making, planning and training. The secondary goal is to provide information on real-time three dimensional graphics techniques, with an eye on meaningful graphics workstation performance measurements for such techniques.
