The research question

Can personnel perceive, understand and anticipate what is happening as the operational situation changes?

Military Situational Awareness Metrics measures whether personnel detect relevant threats and cues, understand their meaning and anticipate how the situation is likely to evolve. The protocol can introduce multiple threats, distractors and unexpected changes to identify where situational awareness degrades.

ParticipantsMilitary personnel whose role depends on maintaining situational awareness during dynamic operations.

Typical protocol · Military Industry

How this study is executed.

The protocol below reflects the service definition developed for Neuro Garage. Final details are confirmed before execution.

01

Define the relevant threats, cues, distractors and expected situational changes.

02

Execute the real, training, simulator or VR scenario.

03

Measure visual coverage, detection timing, prioritization and response to evolving information.

04

Introduce approved multiple-threat, distractor and unexpected-change conditions.

05

Identify detection failures, ignored zones, loss of situational awareness and failures to anticipate the next operational development.
