Conveying network features in geospatial battlespace displays

Advanced battlespace network visualization techniques are required within the modern Air Operations Center (AOC) to improve cross-domain situation awareness and to support planning and decision-making. We present a visualization toolkit to address this need that supports the integration of network health and status information and meta-information with other traditional AOC information resources and activities across air, space, and cyber domains. Applications include the development of battlespace visualization technologies that will improve warfighters´ decision-making response time and provide enhanced flexibility for mission planning by efficiently revealing affordances for leveraging, disrupting, or enhancing network connectivity.
