An Approach to Advance Higher Order Cross-cultural Awareness in Dismounted Soldiers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cultural awareness is important for a range of operations from disaster assistance to active conflict. This paper illustrates the application of an acknowledged system of systems (SoS) to train dismounted soldiers in cultural awareness. Such training system is required to not only increase intelligence gathering opportunities but also minimize troop member loss during missions. Moreover, given the increase in the cultural interaction of dismounted soldiers, specific training is needed to raise cultural awareness. In this research an acknowledged (SoS) model of augmented cultural awareness centered on both agent-based simulation and body sensor networks is proposed. The immersive vest developed at Missouri University of Science and Technology helps assess the distributive intelligence (situational awareness) of both the dismounted soldier and civilians alike. This processed data is then used to train a similar prototype of the physical system environment as an agent based simulation. Strategies in agent’s behavior are also described. This description allows him/her to adapt specific behaviors in response to the foreign civilian.

Tactical Alert Management
Emerging technology now in use in the military enables air vehicles, dismounted soldiers, persistent sensors, and higher headquarters to share multimedia information in the form of alerts that will increase the awareness of a dismounted soldier conducting urban operations. The challenge is to manage the complexity of such a tactical alerting system so that soldiers are not overwhelmed or distra...

متن کاملApplicability of Human Simulation for Enhancing Operations of Dismounted Soldiers
Current policies of the Alliance require the constant development and acquisition of new technologies and equipment to support the individual soldier. Applying different types of modeling and simulation (M&S) for the design of equipment has been advantageous in the past. This has gained importance ever since the dismounted soldier is considered as a system, rather than a set of single component...
