Degrees of Shared Awareness

Abstract

Shared awareness is not a simple construct; different levels of shared awareness arise when participants have access to information that is identical (common), consistent, conflicting or some combination of these. This paper discusses how individuals achieve awareness from information, and the impact for shared awareness. It identifies six levels of shared awareness that may exist between two individuals, which have distinct properties. The differences between three of these: Common Awareness, Potentially Shared Awareness and Fully Shared Awareness are discussed in the context of an Air-to-Air scenario where one set of planes is equipped with Link-16 and the other only has access to voice communications.
