Abstract
Situational awareness is especially important for an operator when carrying forward Network Centric Operations. The networking of knowledgeable entities allows them to share information and collaborate to develop a common operational picture. Increasing the number of commanded platforms may easily become overwhelming for an operator because of information overload and this results in making wrong decisions which may have disastrous consequences. This paper proposes the use of Stereoscopic-3D to increase the situational awareness and improve understanding of modern battle spaces in military operations. The advantage of using S3D visualization is evaluated by several users who operate LOKI, a Command and Control system for Electronic Warfare developed by Elettronica S.p.A. Different tasks and types of threats are considered. The obtained results are presented, which show clear advantages when the operator’s interface benefits from S3D viewing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
