Shared Situation Awareness System Architecture for Network Centric Environment Decision Making

Having full and accurate situation awareness is a critical foundation of successful decision-making in network centric environments. Virtual collaboration, virtual organization and people coordination are the result of Situation awareness in net centric systems. On the other hand, having situation awareness reduces operation cost and risk and increases speed of responsibility, speed of operation and total performance of decision makers. In this paper, we present a new architecture to provide shared situation awareness for net centric decision-making using multi-resolution level architecture. In this system decision-maker requests the needed information and the system provides the requested information and situation awareness for decision-making. According to this architecture, knowledge organization, activity principles, theoretical approach for design, control and software engineering provide for shared situation awareness system.
