The Problem
• NATO is in a transformation
– Operation related issues
– Six focus area
• Command and Control
– Adopting the mission command concept
![Page 3: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Challenges in the transition
• Situational awareness:
– Mostly considered as a cybernetics concept
• The transition from situational awareness to shared awareness:
– Existing models requires theoretical development
• Implementing shared awareness conceptually in mission command concept.

We seek answer for
• What is the context that led to the adoption of mission command in NATO and the level it is incorporated into the doctrinal documents?
• What is the potential of mission command in increasing operational effectiveness?
![Page 5: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Is the shared awareness available data? Or shared awareness is a cognitive entity that changes through processes such as cultural development, education, training, rehearsal etc.
• We establish a dynamic foundation to distinguish the shared situational awareness with proposed substitutes
We seek answer for

NATO’s challenges
• Future operating environment and decision making challenges.
• Operating with multiple organization
– Different Cultures
– Background
– Decision making mechanism
– Varying C2 implementation
![Page 7: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The challenges require
• C2 capabilities that work on multi levels at the same time
• A framework that enhance the efficiency of simultaneous usage of different decision mechanism.
![Page 8: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mission Command
• Mission Command is commonly defined as the conduct of military operations through decentralized execution based on mission-type orders.
• NATO constitute different interpretation of mission command
• Mission command needs theoretical development and complementary concepts: such as shared situational awareness
![Page 9: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mission Command and Intent
• Dissemination of intent is important in any C2 model.
• In mission command clear intent manifest a different significance because of the de-centralizes execution.
• Information technologies provide enhancement.
– the influence of other factors such as doctrine and organization, operational business processes, education and training should be taken into account.

Awareness and C2: The human
• Conceptual framework of C2 include:
– Complexity
– Mission
– Situational Awareness
– Shared awareness
– Interoperability
• The common point for all: The Human
![Page 11: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Human Component
• Calusewitz: – Any C2 construct ignores the human element of C2 would
conflict with reality such an extent that for this reason it would be totally useless.
• The ties to the reality accentuates the human component
• The emerging dualities in situations – Command -> Control – Control -> Command
• The intent disseminated – The congruency in understanding the intent govern the
evolution of the situation
![Page 12: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dualities: Situation Theory Perspective
• Operational environment is – Transient, complex, emergent, dynamic, context
specific and shaped by uncertainty
• Situation Theory Perspective – The incorporation of the participant and
maintenance of the observer in the problems
– The practical nature of the problem
– The paradigm captured in Pragmatic Idealism, that lead to the present state of understanding of Situations Theory

Domain of Awareness: Situational Construct
• Reality Domain Perspective (RDP)
• In this formalism complexity defined as: – Probability of making
an erroneous knowledge claim
• This domain formation is a generative process
Domain
D
Reality - R
Perspective
P A’’(d) : the distance between
what is comprehensible and
that which is understood.
A’(d) : The distance between
reality and comprehensibility
A(d) : The distance between
reality and what is
understood

Generative Process
• The concomitant formation of perspective and domain.
• Participatory and observatory – Cognitive involvement of
the individual

RDP construct and Paradoxes
• Paradoxes:
– Incongruence between understanding of the problem and observed behavior
• RDP recognizes this issue as: – Observed behavior can
correspond to a different perspective in the same domain
– Or a perspective in another domain

RDP and Mission Command
• Mission command is a two way human endeavor – It does tell what to do it, not how to do it
• Three classification of command – Command by direction
– Command by plan
– Command by influence
• Mission Command is an achievable form of command by influence.
![Page 17: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Six Principles for Mission Command Employment
• Build cohesive teams through mutual trust
• Create shared understanding
• Provide a clear commander’s intent
• Exercise disciplined initiative
• Use mission orders
• Accept Prudent Risk
![Page 18: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Situation Awareness
• the perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status in the near future
• Decision Making is separated from the situational awareness construct
![Page 19: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Shared (Situation) Awareness
• Various definitions – COP? or Interoperability? Or something different
• Is it a proceeding step in the situational awareness
• Shared awareness is a state that exists in the cognitive domain when two or more entities
• shared awareness is an important prerequisite for the ability to synchronize actions in the physical domain in the absence of detailed plan
![Page 20: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Nature Shared Awareness
• Shared awareness studies perceive it as substance
• What if the it is shared in action space, however, there is a cognitive disparity
• Groups vs Shared Situational Awareness
– RDP allows to study this concept as mental entity which allows further formalism.

Shared Awareness in Situation Theory Perspective
![Page 22: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Contribution of the RDP to Mission Command
• Shared awareness is a perspective in domain awareness
• Categories of Shared awareness
– Conditional Shared Awareness
– Contextual Shared Awareness
– Synthetic Shared Awareness
– Synoptic Shared Awareness
![Page 23: Shared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key ... · PDF fileShared Situational Awareness / Understanding: A Key Attribute of Mission Command Concept for NATO Mustafa Canan and](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030415/5aa192b97f8b9ab4208be22d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Summary
• Shared awareness is an important feature for the success of Mission Command.
• The suggested RDP construct and its contribution to shared awareness allows to recognized the sources of complexities in the operational environment.
• RDP imposition to the shared awareness provides solution for interoperability and synchronization problems.
