Visualization for Improved Situational Awareness - Mitre

Problem
Warfighters see fragmented information
– Detected tracks and targets
– And location of (some) ISR platforms
But have NO comprehensive view
(of the confidence and pedigree)
– Lack of targets (wrongly) implies lack of threat
– Lack of blue forces or neutrals (wrongly) implies
no collateral or fratricide
– No ability to comprehend sensing acuity and
currency
Which leads to failures and casualties
