An Expert System to Help Assess Tactical Air Readiness and Capability. Phase I Report.
Abstract
Being built is a demonstration expert system that allows users to ask questions in English about major resources and their effects on U.S. tactical aircraft sorties in central Europe. The system will handle two types of questions. The first are those that require understanding the request, knowing what data bases (if any) to search, searching those data bases, selecting the right piece of information, and presenting the answer to a user in a format he wants. The second type are those questions that require substantive expertise and thinking to answer (i.e., those that require both an intelligent search for information and expert analysis of that information). The demonstration system will answer questions drawing on 6 types of information: 1) Characteristics of U.S. tactical aircraft in Europe; 2) The specific missions those aircrafts fly; 3) The number and type of conventional munitions associated with U.S. tactical aircraft; 4) Availability of and POL requirements for U.S. tactical aircraft; 5) Aircrew status and availability; and 6) Status and descriptions of 4 U.S. tactical airfields (Spangdahlem, Bitburg, Hahn, Ramstein).
