Description

There is an increasing need among military organizations for methodologies and algorithms that enhance realistic autonomous agent behavior in constructive modeling and simulation. Application and understanding of real-world elements will be essential in indentifying the decisions to support and represent important factors such as METT-TC. This proposal describes the research, development, and commercialization tasks required to achieve the following Phase II objectives: (1) design a formal knowledge model of battlespace Small Combat Unit (SCU) entities and relationships, expressed with symbolic logic; (2) develop methodologies for SCU decision making and behavior control that work with this formal knowledge model; (3) implement prototype software for intelligent agent behavior and integrate into an existing SCU constructive combat simulation; and (4) design a prototype for SCU command and Soldier decision support tools.
