Cultures differ in cognition. These cognitive differences naturally result in expectancy violations and perceptual mismatches between people of different cultures. And while they are, by nature, difficult to observe, a culture's cognitive attributes significantly influence individual perceptions… More

Contemporary operational environments are often characterized by ambiguous, multi-cultural contexts, where Army Soldiers must rapidly adapt without extensive prior knowledge of a region or its people. Ongoing training development efforts are addressing the need for general cultural competence, but… More

Contemporary operating environments require more cross-cultural interaction than ever before. Cross-cultural competence is critical to mission success, and traditional competence frameworks do not consider the unique demands of Army Soldiers. In Phase 1, a preliminary developmental stage model of… More

United States intelligence analysts of today and tomorrow are faced with a paramount challenge of maintaining situation awareness in the midst of an ever-growing and changing capacity of available data. As the incoming data streams continue to expand, so do the expectations and requests placed on… More

ABSTRACT: Imagery analysts must frequently identify targets in rapidly changing environments where mistakes can have tragic consequences. LADAR is an emerging sensor technology that provides a rich data source for human analysts in support of combat identification. However, the primary focus of… More

ABSTRACT: The insertion of WAAS into the Air Force GEOINT analyst's arsenal of resources represents an evolutionary advance in potential real-time and forensic analysis capabilities. With the broad coverage areas that WAAS provides, analysts will be able to monitor individuals, groups, and… More

The emergence of new technologies in the Air Force GEOINT analyst's arsenal of resources represents an evolutionary advance in potential real-time and forensic analysis capabilities, including more accurate and effective pattern of life development, more timely identification of insurgent… More

ABSTRACT: Today"s intelligence analysts are faced with the ever-growing challenge of integrating multiple, disparate data sets into clear, coherent, and actionable products to support a variety of customer needs. Emerging technologies continue to provide analysts with expanded data resources… More

ABSTRACT: Airborne persistent surveillance capability represents an evolutionary advance in Air Force intelligence analysis capabilities. With broad WAMI coverage areas, analysts can now monitor individuals, groups, and vehicles across space and time, allowing them to more accurately and… More

ABSTRACT: Current LADAR analysis support tools and processes are inherently flawed due to the data-driven approaches that have guided the development of interfaces, automations, and other supports. Analyst cognitive demands, requirements, and preferences have had little influence in the design of… More
