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.
