Abstract
In periodic manner the analysts teams are in the process of designing, updating and verifying the situational awareness SWA system. Initially, at the designing stage the risk assessment model has little information about the dynamic environment. Hence, any missing information can directly impact the situational assessment capabilities. With this in mind, researchers relied on various performance metrics in order to verify how well they were doing in assessing different situations.
In fact, before measuring the ranking capabilities of the SWA system, the underlying performance metrics should be examined against its intended purpose. In this paper, we have conducted quality based evaluations for the performance metrics, namely "The Ranking Capability Score". The results obtained showed that the proposed performance metrics have scaled well over a number of scenarios. Indeed, from the data fusion perspectives the underlying metrics have adequately satisfied different SWA system needs and configurations.
