Artificial-Intelligence Systems in Antisubmarine Warfare. Results of a Pilot Study with Expert Systems,
Abstract
Expert systems represent a programming methodology by which a computer can be instructed to perform tasks that have previously been considered to require the intelligence of a human expert. As such, it is anticipated that expert systems will have a major influence on future software design. The fundamental concepts of expert systems are explained and their current limitations and future potentials are described. Their application to ASW is examined and the military requirements for using such systems are discussed. In order to further explore the potential of these systems in ASW, and in particular in sonar signal processing, a pilot study has been run using the interpretation of active sonar data as an example. The main conclusion is that there is high potential for an expert system approach to the detection, tracking, and classification of active sonar data, and to other ASw tasks. Some aspects of the next phase of research are outlined. (Author)
