Description
KBSI proposes to develop an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) based decision aid for salvo management of ground based mid-course interceptors of multiple types (varying capabilities and reliabilities) against raid scenario threats to the homeland. The proposed solution simulates realistic raid scenarios based on realistic but challenging adversary raid strategies. The optimal salvo plans are used to train AI/ML models that can perform dynamic planning i.e., updates to the salvos after launch (RoL). The trained models provide the warfighters and decision makers salvo plans based on most recent information about the raids. Approved for Public Release | 21-MDA-11013 (19 Nov 21)
