Research on Methods for Presenting Battlefield Situation Hotspots

In joint operations, the large volume of battlefield data and the complexity of information can lead to cognitive overload for commanders, making it difficult to focus on key situational issues in real-time. This paper proposes a method for presenting situational hotspots tailored to operational tasks and roles. The method constructs a situational hotspot matrix based on the situational elements and attributes relevant to different operational tasks and roles. It calculates the situational hotspot values using an improved kernel density estimation method and creates a battlefield situational heatmap using a hot-cold color mapping. By integrating this with the battlefield situational map, it provides commanders with a clear visual representation of battlefield hotspots. Experimental results indicate that this method effectively highlights hotspots and improves the efficiency of battlefield situational understanding.
