Increased Command and Control Effectiveness (ICE)
Abstract
(U) The Increased Command and Control Effectiveness (ICE) program develops and integrates cognitive systems technology into operational Command, Control, and Intelligence (C2I) systems. DARPA’s Cognitive Systems programs have been developing the machine learning, reasoning, and human-machine dialogue technologies necessary to create cognitive assistants. This new technology promises to enable information systems to adapt automatically, during deployment and in real time, to the changing conditions that military commanders confront. It enables commanders to more rapidly adapt to evolving situations and priorities, and accelerates the incorporation of new personnel into command operations. This program funds portions of the technologies developed in PE 0602304E, Project COG-02 that are ready for application to command and control and situational awareness systems. (U) Efforts to integrate cognitive technology into a number of operational systems are underway. The very positive initial results obtained with these important command and control systems suggest that nearly all command and control systems can benefit from an infusion of cognitive technology if the software integration effort itself is made simple. A cognitive software framework will provide basic applications that can be customized by an application developer in a relatively straightforward fashion.
