Linguistic Geometry Techniques for Missile Defense

"We propose to research, develop, and investigate the feasibility of an innovative ballistic missile defense analytic methodology, LG-SHIELD (to be implemented in software on Phase II of this project). On Phase I, we will also develop operational specs forthe LG-SHIELD necessary for its software implementation. Moreover, utilizing our proprietary software LG-FRAMEWORK as well as our existing prototypes for cruise missile defense, SEAD missions, and global space-based operations, we will develop a pilotsoftware demo illustrating feasibility of LG-SHIELD. The fully-fledged LG-SHIELD will be based on the new type of game theory called Linguistic Geometry (LG) for solving higher-dimensional Abstract Board Games (ABG). With LG-SHIELD, a warfighter will beable, using convenient LG templates, to map the entire Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) battlespace into a BMD hypergame. Employing the BMD hypergame, LG-SHIELD will generate the best strategies to disable ballistic missiles in flight and to defend againstincreasingly sophisticated threats including, cruise missiles, satellites, enemy aircraft etc. It will plan the entire operation, allocate resources with minimal cost to achieve certain probability of success, assess possible courses of actions (COA) forall sides, select counteractions, control operation by re-planning in real time, and play and re-play various "what-if" scenarios.
