Future Decision Centre (FDC)

Abstract

The Future Decision Centre (FDC) enables Display of Several Databases (fused together) in a 3-D Map System, in such a way that the information is intuitively understandable for Decision markers from both Military Commands & Civilian Crisis Management Institutions/Organisations. Today there is a Challenge for Decision Makers on Strategic & Operational Levels to get a sufficient grasp of the situation (awareness) at the Level. At the same time the Strategic and/or Operational Level sometimes has a need to engage (or to be kept Updated) directly on Tactical Scenarios/Operations. The FDC enables this kind of "Scenarios Diving", without loosing Track of the overall picture. The overwhelming amount of Information on all Levels creates a Demand of Fuse Databases into one Recognized picture, which at all times is directly relevant to the Scenario the audience is observing. The FDC aims at creating such a Picture, and is able to present it on a "FDC Table". Also there is a Challenge to improve the Land Picture, and it is clearly unbalanced when it is compared to Sea/Air Picture. The FDC does not directly improve this unbalance, but indirectly contribute to improve this Picture, as it intends to fuse different scenarios into one COP.
