Abstract:
Battlespace agility is a warfighting concept defined as the speed at which the warfighting organisation is able to transform knowledge into actions for desired effects in a battlespace. If the Commander, the intelligence shop, and the operations people cannot draw a common picture of their battlespace, it is unlikely that the ensuing military operations will produce the desired effects. Ideally, the Commander, the intelligence silo, and the operations planning silo should have a common understanding of the battlespace in which they are fighting. The objective of this paper is to highlight one emerging communicative approach that has proven effective in facilitating shared situational awareness and understanding, called target network modelling (TNM). The paper will introduce readers to TNM as a communications methodology for making the military organization more agile in the battlespace by improving its ability to share situational awareness and understanding. It aspires to convince a unit's Commander, intelligence officers, and operational planners to strive for a structured set of common mental models to define the battlespace before engaging in operational planning. ; Presented at the 18th International Command and Control Research and Technology Symposium (ICCRTS) C2 in Underdeveloped, Degraded and Denied Operational Environments held in Alexandria, VA, on 19-21 June 2013.
