VISA Background/Objective<br />

<strong>Situational</strong> awareness (SA) should include what you know, what you don’t know,<br />

and what you expect will happen<br />

– Warfighters see<br />

What tracks and targets have been detected<br />

Where (some) ISR plat<strong>for</strong>ms have traveled<br />

– But have NO comprehensive view of the confidence and pedigree of what<br />

they see<br />

e.g.: Targets and tracks are displayed without context<br />

Lack of targets (wrongly) implies lack of threat<br />

No ability to comprehend sensing acuity and currency<br />

– Leads to failures and casualties<br />

So… Warfighters will benefit from an expanded implementation of SA and<br />

improved visualization of SA<br />

– Every warfighter, the other battlespace operators, along with their backup<br />

staffs, management, analysts, support teams, and coalition partners need to<br />

know:<br />

What they know<br />

What they don’t know<br />

about the battlespace<br />
