Soldier Decision Making & Comms Performance Tech
Abstract
This Project conducts applied research to create analytical and empirical capabilities to characterize, model, and forecast human behavior related to cyber electromagnetic events through experimentation and field data collection. The result is increased mission effectiveness that enables strong mission command, intelligence operations, and cyber defenses, which lead to high information sharing, situational awareness, and collaboration. Major efforts focus on applied research to understand the conduct of effective cyber electromagnetic operations in that knowledge is required to create and effectively deploy cyber work systems that optimize human-machine interactions and account for operator and adversary behavior to achieve maximum effects. This Project also investigates technologies to quantify, predict, and enhance Squad-level shared Soldiers' situational awareness (SA) and understanding (SU) across volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambitious operating environments leading to demonstrated increases in mission effectiveness. The result of this effort will be systems that use real-time opportunistic measures of Soldier SA to adapt autonomous assets (routes, surveillance targets, etc.) based on dynamic needs of the Soldier/Squad due to changing mission environment. In addition, this Project will develop novel technologies and approaches to represent uncertain and dynamically changing information in a manner that is effective and quickly understood with reduced Soldier/Squad burden and minimal training requirements. Results of these efforts are provided to Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) Program Managers, Human Systems Integration (HSI) Directorate (Army G1), and the Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Futures Command (AFC).
