Abstract
Military situational awareness results from the synthesis of battlefield data into human understanding. It is formed through the bonding of information, training, experience and the personality of the commander. Computers can readily gather information, training can be assumed, but experience and personality are major challenges for the combat modeler. The Battlefield Knowledge Index (BKT) is one approach under investigation at the US Military Academy to measure situational awareness in Army simulations
