Towards a Generic Model for Situation and Threat Assessment

Abstract

This document presents a generic model for situation and threat assessment influenced by the human's mental processing. The model evolved from three-level descriptive model of situation awareness, where the first level is concerned with the perception of the elements in the environment, the second level is about the comprehension of the currant situation and the last level deals with the projection of the future states of the situation. This model leads us to a high-level functional decomposition of a multilevel Situation and Threat assessment process. The context is navel warfare where commanders and their staff require access to a wide range of information to carry out their duties. The purpose is to support the human by the automation of some higher level cognitive processing currently done by the human.
