Abstract :
Actually, the armed forces around the world try to integrate the communication and information technologies in their command and control systems. Thus, new battles perspectives in asymmetrical wars are created. The soldiers, radars and the environment are interconnected. Also, they create a network of objects that interact with each other and display a dynamic and aggregated behavior. Therefore, the behavior that emerges in battlefields are modeled as a complex system. In such nonlinear dynamical system, it is possible to model these elements as entities that function continuously and autonomously in the environment where they take place. In this context, the theoretical structure and the technique of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is suitable to model the battle situations. This work proposes a MAS composed of cyber agents (radar and helmets) that interact with human soldiers and commanders. In order to increase and enhance the knowledge of the battlefield in battle situations and also to improve the evaluation of the commanders in the process of the decision making, the integrated monitoring system with augmented reality is proposed in this work.
