Cognitive Computing for Coalition Situational Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The term cognitive computing (CC) refers to computer systems that harness multiple techniques from artificial intelligence (AI) and signal processing (SP). Situational understanding (SU) involves creating and reasoning about models of an environment and events. Coalition operations are defined by multiple partners seeking to achieve a common purpose. This paper characterises the SU problem in a coalition operations context — coalition situational understanding (CSU) — in terms of a set of problem attributes. The paper argues that CSU problems require CC system solutions involving a hybrid of AI and SP approaches. The paper outlines some of the architectural choices for CC CSU systems.

Towards an Understanding of Shared Understanding in Military Coalition Contexts
Shared understanding is commonly seen as essential to the success of coalition operations, and current research efforts are attempting to develop techniques and technologies to improve shared understanding in military coalition contexts. In spite of this, our understanding of what the term ‘shared understanding’ actually means is surprisingly poor. In part, this problem is attributable to the d...

Current theories of coalition formation in decision processes of systems at the level of the group lack generality in that some theories do not predict which coalitions are likely to form while others make predictions in only a narrow range of conditions. A model of coalition formation is proposed which predicts coalition formation in a variety of situations. Comparisons between predicted and o...
متن کاملShared Understanding within Military Coalitions: A Definition and Review of Research Challenges
Shared understanding is commonly seen as essential to the success of coalition operations. Anecdotal reports suggest that shared understanding enables coalition forces to coordinate their efforts in respect of mission goals, and shortfalls in shared understanding are frequently cited as the reason for poor coalition performance. In spite of this consensus regarding the importance of shared unde...

Coalition tactical networks are composed of different networks of two or more nations coming together for securing a mission in the tactical arena. Cyber security is an important consideration in coalition operations, and is a complex challenge due to the need for operational effectiveness, as well as for limited trust relationships that exist among coalition partners. New emerging paradigms in...

increases confusion in the opponent’s mind. This process is command-led, with human decision making primary and technology playing a secondary role. Shared understanding and information superiority are key enablers in this process and are fundamental to network-centric warfare (www.dodccrp.org). In addressing interoperability requirements, we must also address data security, control over semitr...
