Human Social Culture Behavior (HSCB) Modeling Advanced Development
Abstract
This program is focused on demonstrating general-use, cross-domain capabilities/tools to support all Human Social Culture Behavior (HSCB) application areas. It will support advanced technology development in four areas: computational modeling capabilities; visualization software toolsets; training/mission rehearsal systems that provide forecasting capabilities for socio-cultural responses at the strategic, operational and tactical levels; and tools for improved data collection and functional architectures for managing and disseminating socio-cultural data, information and analysis products. The resulting technologies will provide: 1) cultural understanding/overlays in existing intelligence, influence operations, and operations planning systems; and 2) training and mission rehearsal capabilities that go beyond strategic level planning tools (to the operational and tactical levels), providing broader, more in depth training/retention capability. A technical assessment capability will be established across all program line items as a means for identifying discrete and discriminating new technologies as they are developed. Research will result in modeling capabilities that 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; demonstration of strategic decision making tools that highlight political, religious, cultural, and related factors; training/mission rehearsal systems capable of using flexible underlying cultural models to train at the operational/tactical level; integration and demonstration of social, cultural and human behavior/cognition skills training systems for operational and strategic planning personnel in a coalition force context; visualization software toolsets that can be used as strategic decision making tools to account for political, religious, cultural, and other factors.
