About

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory awarded a contract to QinetiQ Group plc for research into distributed sensemaking to address the additional cognitive demands placed on individuals in teams conducting complex Command and Control (C2) tasks.

The work considers how increases in technology, a wider range of potential threats, and the expansion of battlespace domains to include cyber and space could exacerbate these demands.

Sensemaking is defined as the skills, knowledge and behaviours used to determine when a routine situation is moving to non-routine or when the situation may not be as originally perceived.

The contract value is AUD 373,966.
