Urban Sunrise
Abstract
This report describes the research performed to explore the potential to enhance military urban operations, planning and execution, by providing new civil intelligence preparation-analysis and Effects Based Operations (EBO) planning capabilities to the urban warfighters and occupying civil administrations. The objective is to provide a comprehensive capability for construction of urban civil intelligence for dynamic effects-based operations analysts to coordinate administrative, information, and military security operations for greatest effects. A three-domain" urban model was developed to model human organizational behavior (cognitive domain), information paths and structures (information domain), and the physical infrastructure of the urban area of interest (physical domain). This effort was a "seedling" effort to conduct the basic research and develop the theory. A follow-on effort by the Army will develop the static description and dynamic simulation of the three urban domains, providing visualization and explanation facilities to allow analysts and planners to explore the consequences of effects based administrative, security and information operations.
