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 />
