  1. Information Fusion Per Husmann Rasmussen, DDRE N/X Workshop Aalborg 3. Oct 2001

  2. Task Group on Information FusionTGonIF • NATO Project within RTB/IST • Follow up to NATO DFD project • 1.1.2000 - 31.12.2002 • CA, DK, FR, GE, NL, UK, US • Research Lab’s and Military Advisors • Follow On: TGonIFD

  3. TGonIF: Objective To improve the information fusion capability, involving JDL Data Fusion level 2 (Situation Assessment) and level 3 (Threat Assessment), in an ASC of a Combined/Joint HQ while in Peace Support Operations To understand the role and to determine the optimum organisation & information processing requirements of the ASC in Peace Support Operations

  4. Data Fusion Process Model DATA FUSION DOMAIN H C I S o u r c e s Pre-processing Object Refinement Situation ´Refinement Threat Refinement DBMS Support Database Fusion Database Process Refinement

  5. TGonIF: Tasks • Develop a Conceptual Model of an ASC • Define Military Environment and Scenario • Define an ASC Concept • Develop and Evaluate the Functional Model of the ASC • Identify Functions that could be Automated

  10. The ASC in Peace Support Operations Military Reports Disaster Reports Socio- Political Reports IS/COIN Reports Crime Reports Classification Report type Specific Correlation Aggregation Situation ‘Views’

  11. ASC OODA Loop

  12. The Information Fusion Classification does either ORBAT independent or dependent classification of the information Classification Correlation Correlation reduces the data set and to enhance the information content by fusing the information contained in the correlated reports Aggregation Aggregation process is to reduce the amount of details by aggregating a number situation elements to a higher level entity

  13. Classification example DFD equipment type Determine unit type Determine command level equipment category military knowledge (GEFC) military knowledge (GEFC)

  14. Correlation Relations DFD A C t1 t3 B t2

  15. Template Aggregation DFD Situation: Template in MilExp KB: Result: 1-2 km t3 t2 1-2 km (distance FLOT) t1 1-2 km (distance 1-2 ech) 2 km (depth unit)

  16. Scenario • IFOR in FRY, 1-7 January, 2005 (1996) • Multi National Division (MND) IFOR into the Banja Luka region of Bosnia-Herzegovina, FRY • Themes (selected): • A movement of forces back to barracks • Displaced population and ethnic resistance • Political structures forming and the involvement of crime • Infrastructure needs and problems • None Government Organisation (NGO) involvement • International Police Task Force (IPTF) • Mined areas

  17. Conceptual Model (Level 0)

  18. Packages

  19. Perceived Situation

  20. Classification

  21. Conclusion • Conceptul model of MIC established • ”Operational” Demo’s on follow on Project • Counter Terrorism to be included • HCI is not a Topic of TGonIF • International Cooperation very well established
