Mixed Initiative Control of Automa-Teams, Open Experimentation Platform

Abstract

The MICA Open Experimentation Platform (OEP) successfully provided an integration framework for MICA controllers and experimentation platform for simulation, demonstration, assessment and transition of MICA research to operational systems. Accompanying Challenge Problems (CP) provided a challenging environment and C2 products representative of real world Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB), Commander's Guidance and Rules of Engagement (ROE). The CPs also incorporated a red force controller that enabled intelligent adversarial reactions including an Integrated Air Defense System (IADS). The combined OEP/CP capabilities represented a challenging but manageable 3 to 5 day air campaign encompassing all elements of the Target Kill Chain. This report describes the OEP/CP capabilities and summarizes experimentation performed on MICA research artifacts using the OEP and CP.
