Automated Planning with Special Relevance To Associate Systems Technology and Mission Planning
Abstract
This report describes the results of work performed to establish the technical basis for a future R and D effort in mission planning technology. One known operational need is for aircrew decision aiding for dynamic replanning during the performance of modern military air missions where information flow, knowledge and detailed reasoning can radically alter the outcome. Artificial intelligence technologies have been applied to create associate concepts with automated planning being a key construct to aid decision making in time constrained, rapidly changing situations. Basic and advanced research programs such as Pilot's Associate, Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate and the Submarine Operational Automation System have each introduced relevant advances to meet service-specific needs. This report provides an overview of automated planning techniques followed by an applications and technology map. The material is supported by information on the relationships of automated planning to the techniques of mathematical optimization, decision theory, et. al.
