Tiivistelmä
This dissertation focuses on exploring the technical possibilities for supporting situation awareness for the users in different environments. Modern society is highly dependent on knowledge, which supports vastly complex infrastructures and operations. As the size and complexity of critical infrastructure (CI) is increasing, understanding the actual situation becomes challenging. For these reasons, the need for exploring the measures for delivering the right information to the right user at the right time becomes crucial.
The two key environments explored are the monitoring room environment for protecting critical infrastructure and the operations of dismounted military forces in an urban area. The research is based on two implemented proof-of-concept environments for these scenarios. In the field of urban area warfare, the Mobile Urban Area Situational Awareness System (MUSAS) is used to evaluate the requirements and usage of dismounted troops. The aspect of critical infrastructure is studied using the created Situational Awareness of Critical Infrastructure and Networks System (SACIN). The ultimate goal is to create an accurate and insightful common operating picture (COP), which actually supports the user in making decisions and understanding the events. The approach is technical and focuses on the ways of creating and distributing the COP. In addition, the study includes methods for measuring the situation awareness of the operators using the systems.
The main contributions of the dissertation are the created concepts, architectures, and implementation of the proof-of-concept systems. These contributions are supplemented with the results of measuring the situation awareness (SA) of the end users. A service-based approach offers a means to spread the services to the entire network, starting from the strategic level and reaching the end users. By these means, efficient and human-friendly COPs for different environments can be built.
