Intelligent Proxies for Automated Mission Planning

3 Phoenix, Inc (3Pi) and Monterey Technologies, Inc. (MTI) propose an innovative Automated Mission Planning System (AMPS), which combines the development of an intuitive Operator-Machine Interface (OMI) and an adaptive data fusion algorithm operating under a web based Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The AMPS is based on the creation and continual update of a fusion database that can be utilized by the Mission Planner through the OMI. The technique will be to combine the richly varying information available from diverse sources such as target location, target imagery, METOC data, terrain information, available weapons and platform capabilities and even other intel sources to create inputs to the adaptive data fusion engine. The fusion engine will update and maintain the fusion database, which is essentially a geospatial representation of all that is known about the mission requirements and mission parameters.
