Air Force ALP AEF Initiative Wing-Level Cluster Development and Demonstration
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to describe the results for the Air Force ALP AEF Initiative Wing-Level Cluster Development and Demonstration task jointly sponsored by the Logistics Readiness Branch of the Air Force Research Laboratories (AFRL/HESR) and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This effort involved the evaluation of the distributed agent based communication and workflow architecture being developed by the DARPA's Advanced Logistics Project (ALP), as it applies to constructing a logistics information system for the deployment of the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF). DARPA's ALP program is researching ways of using intelligent agent technologies to revolutionize the way logistic functions are performed in planning and execution phases of a military operation. To test the ALP architecture, DARPA and other organizations have sponsored various efforts to build applications utilizing the ALP architecture. The AEF Wing-Cluster Development task is one of the many applications being built utilizing the ALP architecture. This task represents the second year of AFRL involvement in the ALP program and includes numerous enhancements to the AEF planning processes that were modeled in the previous effort. The primary focus areas for this effort included dynamic re-planning based on perturbations to the original plan and execution monitoring. The accomplishments in each of these areas are highlighted in this report.
