Counter Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance and Targeting (C-ISRT), Assessment for Electromagnetic Maneuver Warfare (EMW) and Integrated Fire

There is a strong movement to add Non-Kinetic Fire COAs, such as Electronic Warfare attack and Computer Network Attack to the military planners toolbox. Because this new approach, called Integrated Fires (IF), integrates attack types from across traditionally separate planning disciplines it requires the creation of new planning methodologies and technologies. One key technology gap is in the Navys ability to identify and evaluate COAs that fit the current battlespace. While recent laboratory studies have shown that is possible to evaluate IF COAs using game theory models these methods have significant limitations in supporting the complexities of an operational battlespace. Soar Tech and KAB Laboratories propose to develop new cloud analytic services for IF COA evaluation. These services use goal-based constraint reasoning to map the complex battlespace into planner defined mission contexts and from there into specific COAs defined as Hidden Markov Models for evaluation. We will accelerate this work by leveraging existing Soar Tech technical components and KAB Laboratories FAST event generator for technical experimentation. This work will contribute new COA analysis services, new HMM evaluation services, and new operator interfaces for defining IF COAs and mission contexts.
