Joint Force Air Component Commander (JFACC) Project

Abstract

Application of algorithms based on advanced mathematical & engineering disciplines has the potential of creating an interdisciplinary field of Command & Control. Careful application of the ideas of differential games combined with stochastic processes gives an effective means of countering enemy action in a timely manner and achieving specified goals. This work describes the results of experiments examining the combination of feedback control and game theory, particularly continuous feedback of the Nash solution to a zero-sum game. The work includes a model of air mission dynamics, and applies nonlinear continuous-time deterministic differential equations using an iterative method based on successive local linear or quadratic approximations to reduce complexity. Additional work includes results of Kalman filtering used to estimate enemy state from partial measurements.
