One example includes a mission monitoring system. The system includes a data store configured to store map data associated with a geographic region of interest and a plurality of graphical elements corresponding to at least one mission asset and to mission constraints. Each of the plurality of graphical elements includes a layer assignment associated with one of a plurality of graphical layers. The system also includes a human-machine interface (HMI) configured to facilitate user inputs to selectively activate the plurality of graphical layers associated with the plurality of graphical elements and to display a graphical rendering of the selectively activated graphical layers superimposed over a graphical virtual environment of the geographic region of interest via a display system.

Mission monitoring system

One example includes a federated system manager. Asset adapters receive situational awareness data from a respective plurality of mission assets and convert the situational awareness data into a central data format. Mission constraint adapters receive mission constraint data associated with real-time mission constraints from a respective plurality of mission constraint databases and convert the mission constraint data into the central data format. A mission control adapter receives control data from a mission control station to convert mission control data into the central data format and to provide mission status data to the at least one mission control station for real-time control of the mission. A data model repository maintains a universal data model tracking real-time interactive states of the plurality of mission assets, the real-time mission constraints, and the mission control data. The data model repository also generates the mission status data in real-time based on the universal data model.
