Combat System Automation Management

We propose to develop and demonstrate a new architecture for engineering human understanding into automated combat systems. This architecture will provide a conceptual framework for human-centered automated combat systems satisfying reduced-manningrequirements of the transformed future Navy. The approach is based on Linguistic Geometry (LG), a mathematical theory for strategic superiority discovery. The most significant advantages of the LG approach are modeling of the intelligent enemy andextraordinarily fast automatic generation of best strategies, tactics and COA for all the sides of a conflict. We will also develop the operational specifications of an LG-based software tool, LG-SEAGUARD, representing management of automated combatsystems processing within a reduced-manning CIC and aviation command and control nodes using the above architecture. LG-SEAGUARD will reflect the specifics of the Navy and Joint operations at various levels of resolution. It will generate the beststrategies and tactics for all sides of a conflict by optimizing them against various criteria to reflect different types of military operations. LG-SEAGUARD will be dynamic and adaptable to the strategy and tactics of its human adversary. It will plan theoperation, allocate resources with minimal cost to achieve certain probability of success (defined by a planner), generate and assess possible courses of actions (COA) for all sides, select counteractions, control operation by re-planning in real time, andplay and re-play various
