The confluence of increasing future urbanization of world population, along with the DoD's vision of full spectrum dominance, enabled by the network- centric concept of shared situational awareness, drives the question of what benefits the military can expect from shared situational awareness when attacking an enemy in a city. Research demonstrates that shared situational awareness will open new alternatives for the operational commander, improving the probability of defeating an enemy in a city. These new alternatives stem from the faster operating tempo and improved synchronization provided by shared awareness. But achieving the level of shared awareness to obtain these advantages requires overcoming several obstacles. Sensors and communications networks must be improved to overcome the challenges of the urban environment. Additionally, the military must become more effective at fusing data from a variety of sensors into useable information that aids the warfighter in completing his mission. Finally, the military should develop doctrine and training to ensure personnel understand how best to achieve shared awareness.
