Warfighter's Information Packaging (WIP)

Abstract

The Warfighter's Information Packaging effort developed a suite of distributed components to deliver packages of information to the warfighter. These packages are designed to deliver the most relevant, up-to-date information to warfighters at all echelons by populating report templates with information from all available sources. Subject matter experts can develop effective templates ahead of time. Those templates are then available to all personnel, regardless of their level of expertise. A wide range of sources are made available by the application of information integration techniques in the form of a mediation service. The final effort focused on the development of a template for use by strike mission planners and a mission-planning expert system. The system developed is capable of reasoning about available supply and refueling missions, aircraft ranges, and distances to targets, in order to present a focused set of options to the mission planner.
