- optimization and unification of information on the status and development of the situation from different perspectives (views);
- provide a common (universal) connection with information resources through a standard interoperable interface;
- provide a view of the situation in real time and in another arbitrarily defined period;
- provide a visualization of the evolution of the situation over time, use models to simulate the movement of time during an exercise;
- generating information for the public and the media;
- automatically distribute important information to selected entities and receive information from them, including their own situational display;
- permit joint (shared) navigation – even through critical situations;
- concentrate all relevant and current information and clearly display it;
- provide a platform for decision making;
- make use of all information through an interoperable interface.
