Description: Battlefield commanders, as well as autonomous vehicle systems, must have the ability to make near real-time mobility assessments of large terrain regions.  A context-dependent terrain classification paradigm is proposed through a terrain mobility model that employs the notion of cooperating mission, agent and situation experts.  The model attempts to produce a time-sensitive mobility view of the environment by classifying terrain into homogeneous regions, each with an associated traversal cost.
