Understanding the Role of Context in the Interpretation of Complex Battlespace Intelligence

Abstract

A key challenge presented by the increasing volume and complexity of information collectable from battlespace situations is the development of intelligent applications able to automatically analyze the information and identify critical enemy activities in a timely manner. What makes this information fusion problem particularly difficult is the strong contextual dependency of the interpretation of complex battlespace information. This paper examines the dimensions of intelligence information, establishes a framework for exploring the effects of contextual information and provides an illustration of its use. The paper concludes with a discussion of the ramifications of context on the development of intelligent applications intended to aid in the interpretation of complex battlespace intelligence.
