Modelling a Combat Vehicle Commander with an Expert System

Abstract

This thesis examines and models the decision making process of a combat vehicle commander. The model uses the MYCIN certainty factor method. The thesis provides an overview of the following topics: expert systems; certainty factor theory and certainty factor computation; combat decision-making; uncertainty in battle; sensor capabilities for the system to 'see'; the methodology of modelling a combat vehicle commander's thought process; and implementing the model with an expert system. The model is implemented with a commercial expert system shell called M.1. Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Robots; Robotics; Computers; Computer science; Autonomous systems; Autonomous land vehicle systems; Inference engine; MYCIN; Expert systems; Gunnery; Tank gunnery; Computer modelling; Modelling; Military theses.
