Abstract
A decision support method for use by an operator surrounded by adverse entities in a battlefield environment comprises generating a layered representation of the physical environment surrounding the operator from sensor information by mapping the spherical physical environment of the operator into a geometrical representation suitable for display on a screen, the representation being segmented into a plurality of layers having respective sizes, each layer being associated with a respective category of tactical actions. The representation further comprises visual elements representing adverse entities in the surrounding physical environment of the operator, each visual element being represented so as to be superposed with a given layer.
