  1. Visualisation and the Common Operational Picture Towards providing a Netherlands national COP Willem Treurniet

  2. The outline • The NL Defence Operations Centre (DOC) • The Challenges • Outline of a Solution • Conclusion and Way Ahead Towards providing a Netherlands national COP

  3. NL Defence Operations Centre (DOC) • 24/7 joint operational staff • Responsible for planning and management of deployments • contributions to international operations • national deployments • ~ 70 people • J-structure 1 – Personnel 2 – Intelligence 3 – Operations 4 – Logistics 5 – Planning 6 – CIS 7 – Training 8 – Finance 9 – CIMIC SO – Special Operations Towards providing a Netherlands national COP

Operational Process DOC (OP-DOC) Start Orientation ConceptDevelopment PlanDevelopment Deployment Termination Signalisation of a (potential) crisis, initial threat evaluation, resource inventory Political position wrt military participation Development and analysis of participation options Fact finding, consultation, planning and tasking Monitoring of strategic transport and deployment, contingency planning Supervision of round-off, evaluation Towards providing a Netherlands national COP

  7. Maintaining the DOC Database • Content of the NL-COP • Extracted from external information systems – e.g. status and positional information • Manually entered by DOC personnel – e.g. assessments and appreciations • Content of Meta data • Classification of unstructured documents in NL-COP terms • Manual classification time-consuming and error-prone • Reliable automation possible?

  9. In summary… • A national view on international operations requires • a great number of different types of information sources • a great number of different views and perspectives • The portal concept… • provides the desired flexibility, personalisability and visual integration • encourages incremental development (assuming adherence to portlet standards) • facilitates disclosure of legacy and off-the-shelf systems and components • The structured part of the DOC Database can be used as a valuable index for the numerous unstructured documents • Translator boxes are needed to automatically ‘feed’ the structured part of the DOC Database Towards providing a Netherlands national COP

  10. Way ahead • Research activities • find a lasting information model for the structured part of the DOC database (2004) • determine the feasibility of sufficiently reliable, automated classification and distribution of documents (2004, 2005) • Development activities • incremental design and implementation (2004 - 2006) • design and implementation of the translator boxes • application of NATOs IEG-concept • exploit experimentation possibilities (JWID 2005(?), …) Towards providing a Netherlands national COP
