Capturing Uncertainty in the Common Tactical/Environment Picture

Abstract

This contract supported my participation in the working group on the Capturing Uncertainty in the Common Tactical/Environmental Picture Department Research Initiative (DRI) . The goal of the working group was to hone the scientific focus of the DRI during a pilot period preceding the larger expert workshop which took place in October, 2000. The ultimate goal of the DRI is to develop a formalism for capturing, calculating and representing uncertainty. By uncertainty we mean the environmental variability that is knowable and that we can simulate, the environmental variability that is knowable but that we cannot simulate, the environmental variability that is not knowable, and the error inherent in representations and calculations of the environmental field, acoustic field, and target estimation. My work consisted of active participation in the working group, preparation of supporting materials and presentations at working group meetings and at the expert workshop.
