Description

The Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) is a very manual, task-driven process that takes place in an extremely fast-paced, dynamic environment. The greatest challenge to the MDMP is the time outlay associated with gathering and generating known data, at the expense of a commander’s decision-making timeline. TDKC’s Situational Awareness Visualization Intelligence Environment (SAVIE) is a tool to help the MDMP process. SAVIE offers autonomy in MDMP while maintaining the user as the Subject Matter Expert. SAVIE will also allow a commander from the small unit to larger unit levels to visualize in real time his or her decision points, as well as those of subordinate commanders. SAVIE uses a structured model of the battleplan to apply and coordinate reasoning to generate guidance to the analyst about the relevance of the available intelligence data with respect to decisions. SAVIE uses natural language processing to ingest battleplans and understand intelligence reports. SAVIE is time-aware and changes it relevance determinations as the battle plan progresses. By providing an autonomous analysis of relevance and matching intelligence reports to the battleplan, SAVE also provides an independent view of these aspects and can help overcome biases of the analyst and the originator of the battleplan.
