What exactly do we mean by situational awareness?
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014
Land perspective • Geography • Culture and customs • Social context • Key individuals • Atmosphere
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014

Air perspective
• Rapidly evolving, hostile and 3D environment
• Sensor and information fusion
• Sensory overload (human and machine) is a real concern
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014

DefenceImages.mod.uk
Maritime perspective • Maintaining local operating
picture: – sensing, tracking – data fusion – persistent wide-area
surveillance
• Enabling for command and control
• Understanding intent is a key challenge
• Maritime environment

Connected and complex battle space
• Overlapping domains • Shared networks • Coalition operations • Managing security • Cyber threat
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014

Technical challenge areas
• Sensors • Precision navigation and timing • Reduced GPS dependability • Persistent surveillance • Status of digital systems
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014
Sensors • Key themes:
– multi-functionality – high resolution / wide field of
view – processing closer to the sensor – distributed sensing (extending
the baseline) – exploitation of commercial-off-
the-shelf / dual use

Reduced GPS dependability
• Primary source for position, velocity and time information
• Used for navigation, targeting, guidance, search and rescue, synchronisation for communications systems
• Vulnerability to jamming – satellite power (10s Watts) at 11000 NM (received signal fW) – mW at close range can cause problem – GPS jammers are available to buy on internet!

19 November 2014
Aspiration for military GPS • We would like military capability such as:
– foundation-level resilience to jamming – known functionality in operational environments
• With commercial attributes of – low space and weight – lower power consumption – no encryption overhead – short procurement times
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014

Precision navigation and timing
• Micro-electro-mechanical sensor technology
• Quantum II technologies • Challenges:
– synchronised sensing – navigation inside buildings – network synchronisation – platform time and frequency
transfer – geo-location / direction finding
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014

Persistent surveillance
• Pattern-of-life analysis • Anomaly detection • Automatic information
extraction • Managing and exploiting ‘data
deluge’ • Bi-directional processing • Regulatory and cultural
acceptability
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014

Status of digital systems • Digital system – software aspects of
a system and the information communication technology
• Learning the performance of digital systems
• Exploitation of Moore’s Law and sensor ubiquity
• Assurance / security / reliability

• Integrated Sensing Programme Manager – sensor capability to enable situational awareness across all
domains – affordable – sovereign to maintain freedom of action
© Crown copyright 2013 Dstl
19 November 2014
Situational awareness owners in Dstl
• Command & Control / Information & Intelligence Programme Manager – measure the ‘pattern of life’ – exploit structured and unstructured information – predictive intelligence
