Executive Summary A Research Study into KBS for Command and Control in Naval and TMD Applications
Abstract
Recognizing the potential to be gained in command and control (C2) systems from knowledge based systems (KES) and related techniques, the Admiralty Research Establishment (ARE) set up the Technology Demonstrator Programme (TDP) and the associated Technology Demonstrator System (TDS). This work is addressing many of the practical and immediate problems associated with the application of KBS to Data Fusion in the context of naval C2. The ARE programme includes sea trials and supporting research as well as prototypes, theoretical studies and experiments aimed at establishing a wide capability in KBS-based C2. Many of the functional characteristics and technical problems associated with Naval C2 are similar to those in other large and complex military applications. In particular it was realised that there was significant commonality with the Strategic Defence Initiative (SDI)fFheatre Missile Defence (TMD) scenario. As a result a joint approach to research in KES technology was agreed between ARE and the SDIO/SDIPO. A major part of this approach is a programme extending over a total of four years. The programme will link to the current ARE research activities and consists of a study followed by a number of research projects to be undertaken by ARE and UK industry and universities.
