Battlespace Challenge Problems Evaluation of High Performance Knowledge Bases (HPKB) Tools for Battlefield Awareness and Planning

Abstract

This final report documents a series of mini Challenge Problem (CP) evaluations aimed at addressing key technical issues in the application of a broad range or Artificial Intelligence (Al) and related information technologies to timely battlespace problems. The Challenge Problem process includes: Define the problem or need addressed. Match/validate operational requirements to the broad capabilities or AI and related information technologies, and develop vision/concept/architectural views of the problem. Assemble materials supporting the specification of the problem and associated knowledge base, including: reference documents, subject matter experts (SME), ontology development, generation of case studies and representative scenarios. Support the development of architectural components. Conduct evaluations of both component technologies and end-to-end systems. Extend prototype capabilities and manage operational demonstrations/transitions. The Final Report is structured as a compendium of summaries of multiple challenge problems investigated during the course of this program. Each CP summary addresses the specific problem/need, objective, approach and results. The primary Challenge problems addressed under this effort included: Movement Analysis, Workarounds Reasoning, Course-of-Action Analysis Endstate Analysis Integrated COA Critiquing & Elaboration and BioSurveillance.
