5-13 Human Social Cultural and
Behavioral Sciences (HSBC) Applied
Research and Advanced Technology
Development (ONR)
In 2008 the Office of the Secretary of
Defense (OSD) established the Human
Social Cultural and Behavioral (HSBC)
Modeling Program. The mission of this
six-year program is to research, develop,
and transition technologies, tools, and
systems that will help operations planners, intelligence analysts, operations
analysts, and wargamers represent, understand, and forecast socio-cultural behavior at the strategic, operational and
tactical level. The HSCB Program has the
following objectives: 1) advance understanding of the influence of socio-cultural
factors on behavior as it applies to military-relevant contexts and environments,
and provide empirically validated theories
that can be instantiated in computational
models, 2) Provide new methods and
technology, validated computational models, and software to assist warfighters and
others in considering socio-cultural
behavior factors for analysis, planning,
and operations, 3) Develop methods and
tools for flexible delivery of training of
socio-cultural knowledge, skills, and abilities at tactical and operational levels, 4)
Develop methods and tools for the collection, generation, standardization, integration, and transfer of socio-cultural data
for use in computational models and decision support systems Cutting across all of
these objectives is the core goal of the
HSCB Program, to support the integration
of methods and tools developed into
existing systems so as to provide the
warfigher with improved capabilities to
operate in a varied and dynamic sociocultural behavior landscape.
