Human, Social and Culture Behavior (HSCB) Modeling Advanced Development

Abstract

This program is focused on devoloping cross-domain capabilities/tools to support all HSCB application areas. It will demonstrate: computational modeling capabilities; visualization software toolsets; and training/mission rehearsal systems that provide forecasting capabilities for socio-cultural (human terrain) responses at the strategic, operational and tactical levels. The resulting technologies will provide, 1) cultural understanding/overlays in existing intelligence, influence operations, and operations planning systems; 2) training and mission rehearsal capabilities that go beyond strategic level planning tools (to the operational and tactical levels), providing both broader and more in depth training/ retention capabilities. Technical assessment processes are established across all program line items and enable for assessment of discrete technologies as they are developed. Modeling capabilities generate and technically demonstrate validated adversaries to populate "what if" analyses for forecasting reactions of a defined class of adversaries to U.S./ coalition actions. Strategic decision making tools are technically demonstrated to highlight political, religious, cultural, and related factors. Training/mission rehearsal systems are capable of using flexible underlying cultural models to train at the operational and tactical levels. Social, cultural and human behavior/cognition skills training systems are integrated and demonstrated for operational and strategic planning personnel in a coalition force context. Visualization software toolsets are used as strategic decision making tools that will account for political, religious, cultural, and other factors. A common architecture visualization tool vertically integrates cultural information into a military operational environment.
