COLLECTIVE COGNITIVE SYSTEMS AND INTERFACES

Abstract

The Collective Cognitive Systems and Interfaces project will dramatically improve warfighter and commander effectiveness and productivity using advanced cognitive approaches that enable faster, better informed, and more highly coordinated actions than those of our enemies. This will be accomplished by developing revolutionary methods that increase our information processing capabilities, enhance our situational awareness, and enable more cohesive group action by our forces. Critical technical areas addressed in this project include automated decision support, information sharing, ensured communications, and advanced informatics. Cognitive decision support tools reason about tasks, timings, and interactions so that when plans change or the enemy does not respond as anticipated, U.S. forces can quickly adapt. The quality of such decisions and the effectiveness of our actions depend critically on our ability to take full advantage of all available information in a rapid and flexible manner. This requires the capability to share information and to automatically integrate distributed information bases for broad tactical battlespace awareness. Finally, the use of advanced informatics will help guide user's to information most relevant to them, assist caregivers with treatment, destigmatize the psychological health process, and help alert DoD to emerging psychological health trends and crises. The suite of programs under this project will significantly advance the military's ability to successfully deal with complex situations in operational environments.
