Research in Automating Weather Templating Procedures for Aerial Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (AIPB).

Abstract

This document describes a prototype software system that automates the generation of weather related templates used in the Aerial Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (AIPB) process. The software system is called the Terrain and Weather PB Software Toolkit (TWIST). The primary purpose of the prototype is to demonstrate that software using artificial intelligence technology can be developed to effectively integrate weather, terrain, and doctrinal information and to accurately generate AIPB templates. TWIST consists of two major modules. One module serves as the user interface and performs weather and terrain analyses that generate gridded data bases covering the battlescale region of interest. The second module combines the information to create templates that can, among other things, define the Air Avenues of Approach.
