An Architecture for Effects Based Course of Action Development

Abstract

A prototype system to assist in developing Courses of Action and evaluating them with respect to the effects they are expected to achieve has been developed and is called CAESAR II/EB. The key components of the system are an influence net modeler and an executable model generator and simulator. The executable model is exercised using the plan that is derived from the selected Course of Action and the probabilities of achieving the desired effects are calculated. The architecture of CAESAR II/EB is presented and an illustrative example is used to show its operation.
