Integrated Asymmetric Urban Warfare Program (IAUWP)
Abstract
The aim of the IAUWP is to develop innovative technology that can be deployed in support of current and future military operations that include new risks from asymmetrical threats. The program includes the development, prototyping and testing of innovative intelligent computing software technologies which are targeted at supporting the warfighter in the urban and asymmetric battlespace. The QLI program emphasizes intelligent computing technologies that address current and future evolving threats to our forces. One early goal of the IAUWP is to explore the use of innovative technologies under the ONR-initiated concept of operations - Operational Adaptation (OA). OA creates the capability to develop and sustain a decision/action tempo that is beyond an irregular/terrorist adversary's ability to maintain. OA seeks to counter the effects of adversaries employing asymmetric tactics against US forces. In this report, we describe a novel Predictive Analytics technology (Flexscape) that enables data driven hypothesis generation and testing. An ensemble of Bayesian network models are automatically generated from data that can then be used to answer "what-if" questions to generate optimal responses within dynamic data environments. We further report on the analysis of data gathered during two ONR training exercises. QLI's Predictive Analytics software has been used to examine many diverse publicly available datasets during the development and proof of concept stages.
