2. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Outline Situation Awareness WASP –Incl. demonstration Future development of Situation Picture

3. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Situation Awareness What you need to know when making decisions –The Task –States of Resources Entities that can be affected by your and other actors decisions –Environment Entities that cannot be affected by decisions –Actor’s possibilities to act The relations between entities –How much you know and could know Knowledge is a set of hypotheses “Information Awareness” - Precision, quality, and utility

4. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Mental Situation Awareness SA is mental and could be achieved without artifacts Mental SA

11. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Common SA Services Physically Distributed

12. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Common SA Services Physically Distributed Requires means to –Keep info consistent –Keep robust to congestion and bandwidth fluctuations –Keep track of resulting quality –Select info relevant to the task at hand

13. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Provides Situation Picture regarding moving targets A distributed and non-hierarchical infrastructure Based on commercial network technology (Internet) Encapsulated software for effortless integration - The WASP Correlator Unit (WCU) Scalable, robust and possible to reconfigure on the fly. Wide Area Network WCU Global Tracks Superior Local Tracks Sensor Fusion Presen- tation WCU Wasp – The Wide Area Situation Picture

14. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Wide Area Network Unique global target numbering No hierarchical verification of the situation picture On-line estimation of data quality Bandwidth control Encapsulated and distributed functionality Data selection with respect to geographical areas and data quality WCU WASP Features

15. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Future Development of Situation Picture Include other kinds of objects Make relevant also for higher command levels –Hierachical Aggregation –Projects or activities rather than objects –Non map-oriented entities –Non map-oriented interaction

16. Klas Wallenius klasw@nada.kth.se www.nada.kth.se/~klasw Future Development of Situation Picture Include also the future and the past –Save Situation Picture continously –Integrate with planning and simulation Information Awareness –Introduce general management of uncertainties PDFs of hypothesises –Calculate relevant info
