The Augmented Cognition Project is a large, multi-organizational effort spearheaded by DARPA to improve the ability of an individual warfighter. The goal of the Augmented Cognition effort is to extend, by an order of magnitude or more, the information management capacity of the human-computer warfighting integral by developing and demonstrating quantifiable enhancements to human cognitive ability in diverse, stressful, operational environments. Specifically, this effort will empower one human’s ability to successfully accomplish the functions currently carried out by three or more individuals. A key objective of the effort is to foster development of novel- and improvement of identifiable- prototypes and enabling technologies, in order to experiment with and understand the means by which they may be integrated into existing operational systems, as well as those in development. The effort will accomplish this by delivering new design principles for human-computer symbiosis. The DARPA Program Manager for this program is LCDR Dylan Schmorrow.
The Naval Postgraduate School's MOVES Institute is participating in DARPA's Augmented Cognition Project by creating the Context Machine (CM) to act as the "brains" of the system. Inputs about the user's current situation, such as location and the presence of other people and objects, are fed into the CM, which uses them to determine the user's context. Based upon this, the CM determines the best course of action to achieve the user's goals, which it then passes to another portion of the system, which conveys it to the user.
