The Mental Representations Underlying Naval Operations

Abstract

The objective of this study is to review relevant theories and research pertaining to the fundamental mental representations that are common to humans in general and, in particular, to naval operations. The review will focus on the mental representations of the Operations Room (OR) team aboard the Halifax-Class Frigate (HCF). We will specify the structural, organizational, and functional properties of these mental representations. The practical aim of the review is to provide recommendations concerning the design of the tactical displays of the air, surface, and subsurface warfare areas.
