A Pilot's Planning Aid for Route Selection and Threat Analysis in a Tactical Environment.

Abstract

A prototype tactical mission planning system is described which provides pilots with automated tools for developing air-to-ground mission plans. This thesis is a continuation of the Fighter Pilot's Intelligent Aide For Tactical Mission Planning. The Tactical Mission Planner (TMP) contains interfaces to planning and intelligence databases and performs rudimentary threat analysis. Extensive use of graphical displays provide the user with an interactive visual environment for generating mission routes from a starting base to the target and back to the home base. The TMP employs a rapid prototyping design methodology coupled with object oriented programming. This design strategy permits the knowledge engineer to produce an effective planning system without expert knowledge of the planning domain. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Expert systems. (Theses).
