What is ?
Situational Awareness
Situational Understanding
TALON Knowledge Management
3

• Talon is a dynamic, highly adaptable and scalable
  knowledge management solution that enables the
  user to move from situational awareness to
  situational understanding. Talon enables trend
  analysis, risk analysis and risk mitigation and
  to complete this cycle constantly and
  iteratively.
• Talon provides the right information at the right
  time. Talon leverages a rules-based engine that
  automatically filters, sorts and displays various
  data based on a users indicated needs
• Talon is adaptable for different customers and
  environments. Talons distributed architecture
  and pluggable interfaces support a wide variety
  of data sources, applications and plug-ins that
  can be adapted for many different user
  interfaces.
• Talon is as ubiquitous and powerful as the users
  imagination. Talon provides a changeable,
  adaptive and intelligent software package that is
  easily customizable with a graphically-based
  Rules Authoring Tool (RAT).

Example Use Cases

• Battlefield Analysis
• Airspace Management
• Planning and Simulation

Battlefield Anaysis
Without TaLon results
TaLon results

• Current SA shows blue forces in the area of
  reported snipers, but their potential threat is
  unclear.

• Talon only displays Alpha units and threat areas
  (red circles) based on the range of the snipers
  are created.

Airspace Management
Using 3D viewer with Talon, a Commander can
clearly see a friendly helicopter (bottom right)
about to enter a threat cylinder surrounding an
enemy rocket launcher. The friendly unit is
outlined in yellow to signify an alert it will
turn pink if it enters the threat cylinder.

Simulation
In a simulation exercise, it is often desirable
to reduce manpower. Using Talon equipped with a
robust tool set, it can replace a puckster and
thereby simplify the simulation as exemplified in
this diagram.
