Reliability and Uncertainty in Situational Awareness
Abstract
The motivation behind our discussion and analysis focused on understanding the realities of current political, strategic, operational and tactical environments. Current operations involve an increasingly rapid tempo, involving short decision cycles and high stress. There is an increased link between the units in which political considerations affect strategy, operations and tactics on a short term basis. While there are fewer tactical units, these units have increased fire power. Hence the activities of an individual tactical unit can have a greater impact at tactical, strategic and political arenas (in a negative and positive way). This is made possible due to increased communications capacity (both bandwidth and connectivity). Thus, network centricity is a double-edged sword.
