Air Threat Assessment: Research, Model, and Display Guidelines
Abstract
This paper briefly reviews a series of studies [Liebhaber, 1999; Liebhaber, 2000) that were undertaken to investigate the practice of U.S. Navy air threat assessment, describes a model of threat assessment that was created from the research data, and proposes guideline for a threat assessment display within the context of an air defense decision support system (DSS). The studies provided a theoretical and applied basis for threat assessment by defining specific cue-data relationships and detailing the cognitive processes involved in air defense situation assessment. Those processes were incorporated into a proposed model of threat assessment that was successful validated against threat ratings from experienced air defense decision makers. These data, combined with earlier work on DSS interfaces [Miller, 1992; Rummel, 1995] and recent discussions with air defense officers, were used to develop guidelines for displaying threat assessment data.
