Track description

Command and Control environments need access to near-real time situational awareness on-demand. Building a 360 degree situational awareness is an ongoing live intelligence gathering and analysis process. Intelligence in the future may include real time crowd-sourced intelligence from reputable and unknown sources where computers filter data and analysts corroborate and information is given value ratings for timeliness and trustworthiness enabling commanders access to more information faster and from new sources.

Topics of interest include:

· Live intelligence feeds and real time intelligence processes

· digital awareness information sharing

· the Internet Open Source Intelligence Resources: Crowd sourcing and Intelligence process

· Mobile Command and Control situational awareness

· Automated Intelligence data-fusion and filtering.

· Intelligent Agents for operational analysis support

· data modeling and Interoperability

· data simulation and Interoperability
