  1. Personal Decision Support Aids for Special Operations Syndicate One Alward, Fricker, Hjelmstad, Kaster, Rasmussen, Steinberg, Verissimo IST-036/RWS-005Halden, NorwaySept. 10th-14th 2002 S1-1

  2. Criteria • Useful to NATO • Counter terrorism focus • Results in short term S1-2

  3. Counter Terrorism Cycle • Protection • Detection • Reaction • Restoration S1-3

  4. Requirements • Navigation • Communications • Information (including Intelligence) • Sensory enhancement • Protective equipment S1-4

  5. S1-5 Sniper elimination Equipment • Laser range finder • CCD image • GPS (direction) Functions • 3D fused image • Construction data • Pathfinder/advisor • LOS calculations • Synchronisation

  6. S1-6 Hazardous plant explosion Equipment • Laser range finder • CCD image • GPS (direction) • NBC sensor Functions • 3D fused image • Construction data • Pathfinder/advisor • Synchronisation • Contaminant location & spread

  7. Other ExampleScenarios / Applications • Hijacking • Hostage • Minefield crossing • Civil disasters • POW interrogation S1-7

  8. S1-8 • Dafda12345 SPQR Command Center System Concept Helmet-Mounted CCD TV Laser Range Finder Voice, Imagery & Data • Comms Management • Voice data entry (speech recognition) • Text (& speech) Translation • Data Alignment (space, time, confidence) • Data Association • Object Recognition (structures, vehicles, faces, registration #s) • Action Coordination • Display generation • Database retrieval & storage GPS INS BIO • Image Management • Data Tagging (Loc, Time,ID) • Data Transfer • Command Management • Display & Audio Mgmt • (voice command) Higher Echelon Exploitation Center

  9. Initial Camera Range Finder GPS Inclinometer Digital compass Biometric OCR Enhancements Multi-spectralIR/Visual camera Range imager Directional microphone Advanced navigation aids (INS) RF/DF NBC sensors Sensors S1-9

  10. Communications issues(1) • Information (data) requirements • Geometric Data • Architectural Data • Linguistic / Translation Data • Intelligence Data • Sensor Data • Biometrics Data • Local and remotely updatable S1-10

  11. Communications issues(2) • EW requirements • EPM – Local • ECM and ESM through the Command Center • Computational capacity requirements • Local (Individual) • Mobile Command Center (team) • Central capacity (Operational Command) S1-11

  12. Communications issues(3) • Communication requirements • Duplex or half-duplex voice and data link to: • Team • Command Center • GPS receptor • Voice activated, touch sensitive screen • Sensor data simplex channel to Command Center • Biometrics • NBC warfare metrics • Multi-spectral image • Sound • Navigational (GPS, INS) S1-12

  13. Human factors aspects in Special Ops (1) Presentation of information: simple intuitive source compression User oriented: adaptability flexibility Task oriented: goals/needs relating to task Control: levels of automation Communication: feedback Universal understanding training requirements reliability S1-13

  14. Human factors aspects in Special Ops (2) Special aspects: • Navigation • Symbology/maps/graphs/text • Readability/consistency/uniformity/colour/texture ... • Communication • Auditory/visual • Voice recording/voice exchange • Increase trust and confidence by • Providing feedback • Clarify source of information / reliability • Consider absence of individual from the team • Prevent unnecessary distraction/task interruption • Minimize alerts S1-14

  15. Human factors aspects in Special Ops (3) • Information (including Intelligence) • Information compression in order to avoid overload • Reduction of vulnerability of the information network • Human sensory enhancement • Facilitate perception • Equipment • Physiological measures (Vis. aspects for the Command Centre) • Ergonomic aspects (anthropometrical data, visibility, reachability, colour,...) S1-15

  16. Human factors aspects in Special Ops (4) • Training and preparation • The more the HF aspects are taken into account the less training is necessary. • Task- and user-oriented • Planning aids • Support hierarchical planning (rough/detailed) • Provide feedback • Apply heuristics • Real-time translations • Provide messages/info as universal as possible • Provide messages/info as simple as possible • Individual translation if necessary S1-16

  17. Applying the VisTG-Model Sensors Camera Biometrics NBC S1-17

  18. Applying the VisTG-Model Dataspace Database that provide the information S1-18

  19. Applying the VisTG-Model Engines Navigator Explorer PDA-COTS S1-19

  20. Applying the VisTG-Model Output devices displays headphones vibrators Input devices PDA microphone touch screens S1-20

  21. Applying the VisTG-Model Visualising Target information Positional/navigational information Site information Orders Sensor alerts Any other required information ... S1-21

  22. Applying the VisTG-Model Users Special Ops Team leaders/Commanders S1-22

  23. Recommendations • Task NATO STC to develop a concept demonstrator • 18 months delivery • Commercial off the shelf products • Form a NATO RTB Task Group to steer development S1-23

  24. Conclusion “Personal Decision Support Aids for Special Operations” ... • ... offers a near-term improved capability • ... supports evolutionary development S1-24
