Description

COAXIS (Course of Action Extra-Intelligence System) recommends both information relevant to an operational order and a course of action (COA), where COA is defined as a decision of what action to take given a specific situation. COAXIS performs semantic analysis of natural language of an operational order to bridge the world of human-oriented natural language communication of orders to machine analysis and prediction of events on the battlefield to recommend COAs. We solve the problem in a top-down, which allows us to address the four challenge areas in the topic. We start with a reasoning engine to make COA recommendations using information about assets, environment (adversary, neutrals, METOC, network, spectrum,...), geography, time, and mission in terms of capability requirements, tasks, goals (measures of performance and effectiveness). To make recommendations, we then address what queries will route data from the right sources. That in turn raises the question of what data is needed, which we address by mapping orders and current context to formulating the queries. Finally the orders themselves come from natural language analysis of human created messages. Our solution builds on our existing work in fusion, layered data, and battle management aides.
