Exploratory Evaluation of Intelligence-Operations Collaborative Systems

Abstract

The Collaborative Battlespace Reasoning Awareness (COBRA) project was developed out of the need to provide a closer alignment between the intelligence analyst and the operations officer. As a result several technological initiatives are under development to support collaboration and synchronization of intelligence, operations, and geospatial information and activities. The overall goal is to increase battle command unification through shared decision-making in an effort to support the commander's mission objectives. This report outlines a human computer interaction evaluation of a software application, Impulse. The goal was to gain an understanding of how well Impules aligns with users' workflows and mental models. Specific emphasis is placed on ensuring that Impulse's features have operational relevance.
