Reusable Component Based Data And Response Management Decision Aid Infrastructure Technology Tool To Support Net Centric Fires

The proposed innovation integrates the following technologies: intelligent mobile agents, distributed computing, cognitive technologies, surveillance networks, heterogeneous relational database mapping, forward based decision making, remote information fusion, target value analytics, target/asset pairing strategies, and probability/prediction technologies to provide a reusable component based data and response management decision aid infrastructure technology tool to support Net Centric Fires. As stated in US Army military field manuals FM 3-02.12 and FM 100-12 the methodology utilized to drive the targeting process is Decide, Detect, Deliver and Assess (D3A). The tool will provide a decision aid infrastructure to support the D3A methodology. The D3A methodology is an integral part of the military decision making process from the receipt of the mission through execution. This methodology organizes the efforts of the commander and his staff to accomplish key targeting objectives. This task will be accomplished by integrating intelligent mobile agents, which will be strategically deployed. Their purpose is to gather, fuse, and extract pertinent data. The agents will then coordinate their efforts using multi-parameter target rule sets and probability/prediction technologies to determine target prioritization. The tool will determine the appropriate target/asset/protocol pairing. The approach is to integrate existing product technologies into our baseline web-based or stand-alone real-time data and response management decision aid infrastructure technology tool.
