A Reference Model of Soldier Attention and Behavior

Abstract

This research expands entity level representation of situation awareness and behavior. Building on previous work, the researchers developed an integrated and tractable modeling framework for the representation of a soldier's visual attention, situation awareness, and target acquisition prior to a close range encounter, as well as the soldier's initial action choice. The researchers developed data to populate the model through subject matter expert questionnaires and a live virtual experiment. The resulting algorithms provide insight into soldier action choice on contact. These and other aspects of the model have been coded for demonstration as a proof of principle, while work on the full reference model continues.
