The MTWAN operational view captures, at a high level, the nature and purpose ofinformation exchanges in an allied tactical environment.208. Generically, the two types of information used by the tactical user are Action andPlanning information. Action information requires immediate action such as attacking theenemy or avoiding attack from the enemy. Action information is therefore extremely timesensitive and is often unique to each individual and platform within the battle space. Planninginformation is used as a basis for determining future action and is generally not so timesensitive. This information is common to planners and decision-makers throughout the battlespace and is normally stored in databases, web pages, or files.Availabilityto othersAccuracyConsistencyTimelinessValueRelevanceIntegrityClarityAvailabilityto userUncontrolled copy when printedFigure 2–1 Determinants of Information Value2-2UNCLASSIFIEDOriginal
