HERON: Artificial Intelligence-assisted Wargaming

Vision Systems Inc. (VSI) with support from STR propose HERON, an AI-assisted Wargaming Agent capable of Machine-to-Machine wargaming and Human-to-Machine collaboration. HERON will monitor, assess, and exploit simulation-derived Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR); understand and reason about hostile activities, interactions, and operational changes; refine its understanding of the battlespace and engagement options through counterfactual reasoning and collaborate with the human planner. Our test and evaluation approach exploits operationally realistic scenarios embodied in a GOTS wargame environment and leverages our teamís experience with AI agent development for these environments.
