Question: The Afghanistan Mission Network enabled an increased the perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time, or some other variable, such as a predetermined event, also known as?

 It is also a field of study concerned with understanding of the environment critical to decision-makers in complex, dynamic areas from aviation, air traffic control, ship navigation, power plant operations, military command and control, and emergency services such as fire fighting and policing; to more ordinary but nevertheless complex tasks such as driving an automobile or riding a bicycle. Situational awareness or situation awareness (SA) is the perception of environmental elements and events with respect to time or space, the comprehension of their meaning, and the projection of their status after some variable has changed, such as time, or some other variable, such as a predetermined event. <SEP>  By providing a common network over which to share critical information, the AMN enabled a shift in information-sharing posture from “need to know” to “need to share,” resulting in an increase in situational awareness among coalition partners. The Afghanistan Mission Network (AMN) is the primary Coalition, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) network for NATO-led missions in Afghanistan (ISAF, RSM). <SEP> Phytogeomorphology is the study of how terrain features affect plant growth.  It was the subject of a treatise by Howard and Mitchell in 1985, who were considering the growth and varietal temporal and spatial variability found in forests, but recognized that their work also had application to farming, and the relatively new science (at that time) of precision agriculture.  The premise of Howard and Mitchell is that landforms, or features of the land's 3D topography significantly affect how and where plants (or trees in their case) grow.  Since that time, our ability to map and classify landform shapes and features has increased greatly.  The advent of GPS has made it possible to map almost any variable one might wish to measure.  Thus, a very increased awareness of the spatial variability of the environment that plants gown in has arisen.  The development of technology like airborne LiDAR has enabled the detailed measurement of landform features to better than sub-meter, and when combined with RTK-GPS (accuracies to 1mm) enables the creation of very accurate maps of where these features are.  Comparison of these landform maps with mapping of variables related to crop or plant growth show a strong correlation (see below for examples and references for precision agriculture). <SEP> The Network Control Center Data System (NCCDS) is an element of NASA's Space Network (SN) ground segment.  Collocated with the White Sands Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, the NCCDS is the operations control facility for the network.  It schedules most Space Network elements and supporting elements and provides interfaces for planning, acquisition, control, and status of the Space Network.  The NCCDS is the point-of-contact between customers (who have satellites in orbit) and the Space Network for most scheduling and real-time performance.  A customer may obtain Space Network support by submitting specific schedule requests to or establishing generic requirements with the NCCDS.  The NCCDS translates customers’ requirements into specific TDRS communications and tracking events.  Additionally, the NCCDS notifies affected customers of scheduled system outages so that Mission Operation Centers (MOCs) can properly plan mission activities.  Upon MOC request, the NCCDS provides operational performance information (such as data presence monitoring indicators and data quality monitoring data) on scheduled services during actual support to determine if conditions exist that will affect data quality.
