Visualising the Battlefield with Panoramic Displays

Abstract

This paper outlines ongoing research into the application of shared large screen displays (LSDs) for visualising the battlespace. This research was funded by the MOD 5 Corporate Research Programme 1999-2000 (TG5: Human Sciences and Synthetic Environments). Completeness and accuracy of information has the potential to enhance awareness of the situation and increases the probability of better decision making by the command team. Thus LSDs may lead to enhanced team situation awareness, and it is proposed that this in turn should lead to more effective decision making. The paper discusses panoramic displays in relation to the potential benefits that would arise when military command teams use them. Understanding of the command team's information requirements is crucial to the operational advantage gained with LSDs. This paper also reports the outcome of a user requirements capture exercise, where users were required to consider their potential information display requirements for an LSD to be used in 2010.
