Shared Situation Awareness for Networked Dismounted Soldiers

Abstract

The effectiveness of the network-edge dismounted soldier is maximized when the soldier acts as both a consumer and producer of Situation Awareness (SA) data within the larger tactical network. Providing this degree of information sharing in a tactical military environment presents unique technical challenges. This paper will discuss the design of a prototype demonstration system, jointly planned by the Army's Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC) and Lockheed Martin's Advanced Technology Laboratories (ATL), that integrates CERDEC's C2MINCS tactical information sharing framework, and ATL's data fusion and Grapevine intelligent data dissemination technologies to more fully address the problem of bringing shared situation awareness to a team of networked dismounted soldiers.
