Requirements Capture and Design Issues for a Real-Time Decision Support System for the Canadian Patrol Frigate

Abstract

DREV initiated the Simulated Real-Time Environment (SRTE) project to investigate concepts and capture the real-time requirements of a decision support system that can provide enhanced capability within the Command end Control System to counter the current and anticipated future air and surface threat to the Canadian Patrol Frigate. Among its principal roles, this: system will: continuously take in data from the ship's sensors and other information sources; support the formulation, maintenance and display of an accurate tactical picture derived by fusing all available data, and display of an accurate tactical picture derived by fusing all available data, and assist in the interpretation of this picture; and formulate and provide recommended courses of action for responding to anticipated or actual threats. This document describes both cognitive and technological aspects of the decision making approach that is a cornerstone of the SRTE project and gives a detailed technical description of the methodology and associated R&D work that Is being conducted to capture system requirements.
