Weapons Decision Support System (Navy)
Abstract
Weapons Decision Support System (WDSS) provides intelligent agent decision support to provide the Build Breakout Re-stow Management Tool (BBRMT) Ready Service Weapons (RSW) breakout and build planning, Magazine Arrangement Planning Aid - Internet (MAPA-I) planning, and ADMACS integration onboard carriers. WDSS system manages weapons current stowage location, weapons peculiar attributes, breakout and build support requirements, and alternate weapons availability. WDSS employs expert systems and intelligent agents to collect, interpret, and process the information into a knowledge base which can be used to support and automate the decision making processes associated with weapons planning. WDSS will function as a component of Aviation Weapons Information Management System (AWIMS) that will interface with or receive data from other systems such as Load Plan Generator, Ordnance Information System (OIS), MAPA-I, and other related systems to provide weapon system attributes during planning of the aircraft load plan. Outputs and efficiencies: WDSS shortens the time to plan initial ship load-outs and fulfill replenishment requisitions by 50 percent and improves availability of weapons asset availability information following replenishment by 30 percent. WDSS increases survivability; less bombs are required to be staged on flight deck (stage only two events in advance vice three-five events in advance). Higher mission-capable sortie rate, additional 18-25 sorties from faster planning, mission flexibility and tracking under WDSS. TTI funding accelerates the transition of this capability by two years.
