SITUATIONAL AWARENESS


What is Situational Awareness? “A general definition of Situational Awareness is that it is the perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning and the projection of their status in the near future.”

Four Elements of Situational Awareness


The basic definition has been extended to state that Situational Awareness needs to include the following four specific elements: • Extracting information from the environment


• Integrating this information with relevant internal knowledge to create a mental picture of the current situation


• Using this picture to direct further perceptual exploration • Anticipating future events


Taking these four elements into account, Situational Awareness is defined as the continuous extraction of environmental information, the integration of this information with previous knowledge to form a coherent mental picture, and the use of that picture in directing further perception and anticipating future events.
