Abstract :
The paper studies situational awareness, one of the most important factors of network centric warfare. It focuses on the role of service oriented architecture and how it can help generating a more extensive and comprehensive situational awareness. To clarify the point, service oriented common tactical/operational picture as the visual aspect of situational awareness and non-visual shared information are analyzed and novel strategies are proposed to improve the emergent results. Finally the paper reviews a scenario in which situational awareness is generated over a loosely coupled environment for various kinds of service consumers.
