Tactical Decision Aids and Situational Awareness (Les aides a la prise de decisions tactiques et la connaissance de la situation des forces)

Abstract

Today, the use of decision aids systems for commander and operators in the battlefield area is playing an important role due to the new frequent situation of joint coalition and asymmetric warfare in which the defense forces are involved. On these occasions, the capability of own forces to have the evolution of the tactical situation in real time is extremely important. Since combat survival and mission accomplishment depend upon operators performance in the process of decision-making, and the operator performance depends upon the degree of awareness, situation awareness can be seen as a result of a continuous assessment of situation parameters by the operators. This mission critical chain of sub-segment functions is greatly influenced by the nature of the technical systems the operator is leading with.
