Visualization of Uncertainty

Abstract

With the changing character of warfare, information superiority is a high priority. Our decision makers must be able to accurately assess the situation, decide upon a course of action, and set that course of action in motion before the adversary can react. It's always a challenge to provide decision makers with the right information in an easily understandable format. This is particularly true as more and more information can be made available. It becomes very important to display the right information at the right time and to make it easy to find and understand. Today's new computer and display technologies afford us a broad array of options for information presentation. Our challenges is to develop display interfaces that deliver decision-quality information culled from various sensors/systems directly to decision-makers.
