Smart Interfaces for Decisive Counterspace Operations

Abstract

Satellites are critical assets to our national security thus making them tempting targets for adversaries. Unfortunately the lack of tools that provide situational awareness on the ground makes the process of identifying and classifying many types of attacks difficult at best. Research in "smart" man-machine interfaces for counterspace operations has been performed at the Air Force Research Laboratory to improve the warfighter's ability to gain situational awareness during satellite attacks. Preliminary studies have shown a considerable decrease in time and errors by using technologies such as intelligent agents, speech input, and 3-D displays.
