Artificial Intelligence Methods in Pursuit Evasion Differential Games

Abstract

The principal portion of this Final Report on the present grant, Artificial Intelligence Methods in Pursuit Evasion Differential Games, consists of an attached Technical Report by Rodin and Weil, on Differential Games and Artificial Intelligence in Air Combat. The rest of the report is a brief summary of our activities and achievements under the grant during the past three years. The summary is brief, because it is merely a restatement of reports sent by the P.I. to the AFOSR regularly during the life of the grant. The air of the research here proposed is to develop the conceptual framework and the software for the prototype of an operational, on-board, real time multiprocessing computer system, capable of assisting the pilot in flight and fire control decisions; in other words, a Tactical Decision Aiding Expert System (TDAES). The end product of this research will be for use in theoretical combat planning and analysis; in practical fighter pilot training (e.g., in simulations); and as an actual aid for pilots in support of their tactical decision making diurnal flights. The nature of this research is intelligent control of a very specific type; we intend to combine certain aspects of differential game theory, 3 dimensional computational geometry and artificial intelligence in a unique way, so as to provide a solution to the problem described above.
