Research abstract
FATES is an advanced decision-aid framework designed to provide operators with optimal weapon assignment recommendations. The system comprises three integrated components: (1) a Weapon-Target Graph Database capturing synergies and conflicts across hard-kill (HK) and soft-kill (SK) assets; (2) a Weapon-Target Opportunity Evaluator that assesses availability, feasibility, and effectiveness of engagement options; and (3) an Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) WTA algorithm using Least-Squares Temporal Difference learning to adapt to dynamic raid environments. FATES delivers real-time scheduling recommendations for SSDS by optimizing HK/SK coordination, enabling layered defense under uncertain and evolving threat conditions. FATES will deliver a modular, real-time, hardware-agnostic decision support framework designed to optimize weapon-target assignment (WTA) for the U.S. Navy’s Ship Self Defense System (SSDS).
