Knowledge-Based Pattern Recognition Method and Tool to Support Mission Planning and Simulation

Knowledge-Based Approach for Military Mission Planning and Simulation

“…The tool (called CAVaRS: Course of Action Verification and Recommendation Simulator) allows preparing knowledge base of decision situations patterns with values of characteristic parameters (Antkiewicz et al, 2011b). It also allows to fix the best (nearest) decision situation located in the knowledge base, choose (or create) the best CoA and simulate selected CoAs.…”

“…Two of the factors which are especially essential in military decision-making are human battlefield stress and a limited time. Therefore, it is very important to provide, for military decision-makers, computer tools, which support their decisions and try to partially eliminate the negative impact of their stress on the decision being made and shorten the decision-making time (Najgebauer, 1999;Tarapata, 2011). These tools should be a knowledge-based (Tarapata, 2011).…”

“…Simulation and verification of course of actions (CoA) is considered in many systems and aspects (Antkiewicz et al, 2011a;2011b;Barry & Koehler, 2005;Mathews, 2004;Najgebauer 2004;Ross et al, 2004;Sokolowski, 2002;Tarapata, 2008;. The most www.intechopen.com Advances in Knowledge Representation 252 important step of decision planning process is an identification of a decision situation problem: this problem is that we must find the most similar battlefield situation (from earlier defined or ensuing situations, e.g.…”

“…1. An example of a knowledge-based decision support system schema for military applications (Tarapata, 2011) The chapter is organized as follows: in section 2 we present problems connected with modelling the semantics of military domain, section 3 contains battlespace ontology model, in section 4 we present ontology-based reasoning, section 5 contains ontology-based decision situation model and section 6 and 7 present some example of using tool for identification of decision situations.…”
