Organization DEVCOM Army Research Laboratory Reference Code ARL-C-CISD-300079 Description About the Research Project AURORA (Accelerated User Reasoning for Operations, Research, and Analysis) seeks to understand how cross-reality (AR,VR,MR) can be used to enhance the common operating picture for future multi-domain battle. The AURORA project is a platform consisting of network (AURORA-NET) and interface (AURORA-XR) modules that allow researchers to conduct controlled experimentation on the ingestion of battlefield data on the network to its visualization, analysis, and actuation by humans and intelligent agents. There is currently limited literature on how best to use immersive technology for decision-making, particularly across different visualization mediums as well as across different threat domains. ARL Advisor: Pete Khooshabehadeh; Mark Dennison ARL Advisor Email: ; About CISD The Computational and Information Sciences Directorate (CISD) conducts research in a variety of disciplines relevant to achieving and implementing the so-called digital battlefield. Problems address the sensing, distribution, analysis, and display of information in the modern battle space. CISD research focuses on four major areas: communications, atmospheric modeling, battlefield visualization, and computing About ARL-RAP The Army Research Laboratory Research Associateship Program (ARL-RAP) is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Army. Scientists and Engineers at the CCDC Army Research Laboratory (ARL) help shape and execute the Army's program for meeting the challenge of developing technologies that will support Army forces in meeting future operational needs by pursuing scientific research and technological developments in diverse fields such as: applied mathematics, atmospheric characterization, simulation and human modeling, digital/optical signal processing, nanotechnology, material science and technology, multifunctional technology, combustion processes, propulsion and flight physics, communication and networking, and computational and information sciences.
