August 05, 2024 | 14 |
Books on military situational awareness are invaluable resources for startups specializing in the development and enhancement of technologies related to situational awareness in military contexts. These texts cover critical topics such as sensor integration, data fusion, command and control systems, and information warfare strategies. By engaging with these resources, startups can gain a comprehensive understanding of the intricate principles and operational considerations essential for effective military situational awareness. Historical perspectives and case studies within these books offer insights into the evolution of situational awareness technologies, showcasing successful applications, challenges faced, and the strategic impact of advanced awareness capabilities.
1. Designing for Situation Awareness: An Approach to User-Centered Design, Second Edition
2016 by Mica R. Endsley
In the face of escalating data overload, the second edition of "Designing for Situation Awareness: An Approach to User-Centered Design" addresses the challenge of maintaining effective operation across various systems, such as aircraft cockpits, ground control stations, military command and control centers, intelligence operations, emergency management, medical systems, air traffic control centers, automobiles, and financial and business management. The book explores a user-centered design approach to mitigate the impact of information saturation, emphasizing the critical need for enhancing situation awareness in complex operational environments.

2. Distributed Situation Awareness: Theory, Measurement and Application to Teamwork
2012 by Dr Daniel P Jenkins, Dr Guy H Walker, Professor Neville A Stanton, Professor Paul M Salmon
Understanding the operational environment is crucial for teams operating within military systems, and "Distributed Situation Awareness: Theory, Measurement and Application to Teamwork" delves into the concept of 'situation awareness' (SA) within human factors. SA refers to the level of awareness operators possess about their engaged situation, crucial for successful task performance. This book shifts the focus from individual operator cognition to a systems perspective, introducing the concept of distributed situation awareness. Viewing SA as an emergent property of collaborative systems, the book reviews existing SA theory and measurement approaches, proposing a novel model and modeling procedure for complex collaborative systems. Real-world applications in land warfare, multinational warfare, and energy distribution domains are explored through case studies, providing insights into SA theory. The book concludes by validating and extending the distributed SA model, outlining the utility of the model and modeling procedure, and presenting initial guidelines for supporting distributed SA through system design.

3. Tactical Display for Soldiers: Human Factors Considerations
1997 by National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Human-Systems Integration, Panel on Human Factors in the Design of Tactical Display Systems for the Individual Soldier
This book explores the human factors considerations linked to the development, testing, and integration of helmet-mounted display technology within the 21st Century Land Warrior System. Focusing on soldier performance across diverse environments and missions, the analysis encompasses both the military context and the characteristics of the infantry soldiers who will utilize the system. Key topics include the impact of the display on individual soldiers' local and global situation awareness, an examination of visual and psychomotor factors associated with each design feature, considerations for auditory displays, and an assessment of physical stress sources and the implications of the display on soldier workload. The book introduces an innovative research and testing approach, employing a three-stage strategy that commences in the laboratory, progresses to controlled field studies, and concludes with operational testing.
