Dynamic Situation Assessment and Prediction (DSAP) Integration and Experimentation for C2 R&D

Abstract

The DSAP concept grew out of John R. Surdu's Simulation in Operations research project and prototype system (OpSim). There are two basic functions of the DSAP concept: (1) Dynamic Situation Awareness, and (2) Prediction. The overall concept involves the use of embedded simulation in an operational environment to support decision makers in the planning process. Providing this capability allows decision makers to use simulation to assist in planning operations, monitor current operations, determine deviations from a plan, and predict and determine outcomes of a given plan. The resulting system allows military Commanders to utilize timely battlefield information to make accurate decisions based on the effects of their plans and the current operational picture while providing an underlying capability to allow the Commander to dynamically modify an existing plan "on the fly" to address emerging information detected by sensors or provided by gathered intelligence.
