DYNAMIC 3D ANALYTIC TOOLS: A METHOD FOR MAINTAINING SITUATIONAL AWARENESS DURING HIGH TEMPO WARFARE OR MASS CASUALTY OPERATIONS
First Claim
1. A method for generating a situational awareness display for displaying at least one state of at least one variable of a system to be monitored, comprising the steps of:
- generating a spherical situation display representing the state of the at least one monitored variable of the system, includingat least one hub representing the system to be monitored,at least one variable cone representing at least one corresponding variable of the system to be monitored,each variable cone extending radially from a representation of the but and having a radial extent at a width representative of a characteristic of a corresponding variable of the system, andat least one threshold shell in association with at least one variable cone,each threshold shell representing a boundary of at least one characteristic of the corresponding variable of the system; and
modifying at least one characteristic of a variable cone of the situational awareness display to represent a corresponding change of the corresponding variable of the system.

Abstract
A system and method for generating a spherical situation display representing the state of a monitored variable of a system, including a hub representing the system to be monitored, at least one variable cone representing a variable of the system with each variable cone extending radially from a hub and having a radial extent and width representative of a characteristic of a variable of the system, at least one threshold shell representing a boundary of a characteristic of a variable of the system, a trend shell representing a current value of a characteristic of a variable, and modifying a characteristic of a variable cone to represent a corresponding change of a variable of the system.
