I am undertaking a study into the application of cognition in a C2 System - specifically looking at conscious and sub-conscious. Interested in hearing about the potential problems.
Conscious Cognition
The C2 system is a decision making aid that predominantly uses slow-time or conscious cognition to convert data into actionable intelligence. This decision-making is defined as a high-level cognitive process based on perception, attention, and memory. As noted in Chapter 2, the human conscious reasoning capability is largely sequential and short term memory has a very limited capacity to retain more than a few elements of data at any given time. Consequently, operators have a great deal of difficulty assessing multiple relationships concurrently. The objective of the C2 system is to relieve the operator of this burden by using automated cognitive processes to analyze multiple relationships in real-time. This permits analysis of cross relationships and the extraction of the maximum amount of relevant knowledge to aid timely decision making.
Sub-Conscious Cognition
Sub-conscious, or fast time, cognition is defined by the perception-action cycle and is applicable to sensor systems with the capability to use data from the previous update to optimize the system parameters for the current collection cycle. This can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of the data collected particularly when target is masked by clutter or interference.
