LG for Integrated Adversarial COA Generation

We propose to develop LG-WARGAMER, a new an asymmetric adversary simulation environment that can support existing military simulations such as the Joint Synthetic Battlespace (JSB) and the Air Force M&S Foundations initiative for Air Force acquisition and training. In Phase I, we will establish feasibility and develop principles for a high level LG-based architecture for such tool. In Phases II and III, a succession of progressively more powerful software prototypes of LG-WARGAMER, implementing the framework developed in Phase I, will be developed. The approach is based on Linguistic Geometry (LG), a new type of game theory changing the paradigms of battle management and mission planning. The most significant advantages of the LG approach are modeling of the intelligent enemy and extraordinarily fast automatic generation of advantageous strategies, tactics, and COA for all the sides of a conflict. LG-WARGAMER shall be capable of interfacing with simulation environments (such as JSB) and providing adversary tactics and strategy to the simulations. Using these capabilities LG-WARGAMER will assist the operators, commanders, warfighters, and trainees in describing, assessing, and predicting the activities of individuals, teams, and organizations. LG-WARGAMER will be capable to consider factors such as the social, cultural, political, economic, religious, ethnic, and ideology of the adversary. Working with JSB, LG-WARGAMER will permit modeling and evaluation of new conceptual military hardware in terms of its functionalities and new strategic and tactical concepts. If a hardware functionality would have hidden flaws (e.g., too low bandwidth of the communication network), the simulated enemy guided by the LG strategies would be able to exploit them providing the hardware evaluators with hands-on proof of failure. Moreover, assisted by the analyst, LG-WARGAMER will discover the direction of changes toward correcting the flaw. Contrariwise, if the functionality has spectacular advantages, LG-WARGAMER would be able to convincingly demonstrate how these advantages could be translated into victory for the Blue forces.
