Advanced Visualization for Operational Assessment
Abstract
The Air Force is in the midst of a technology transition that will enable and support operators in their decision making strategies by enabling them to have access to - the information needed, in a timely manner, to maintain situation awareness over the battlespace, and to work jointly with other commands. The overarching goal of this transition is to provide a network-centric warfare (NCW) capability that in military operations theory holds that the seamless networking of friendly force elements will bring about an increase in combat power (Alberts, Oartstka, & Stein, 1999). The basic idea is that related mission applications should be integrated into a single managed "C2 Node". Included in this technology transition is the advancement and implementation of an Effects Based Operation (EBO) methodology. The goal for the Air Force is to enforce a standardization of this methodology both in practice and in system development. This enforcement is occurring because operations have become complex and more difficult to keep track of, especially when joint forces are employed.
