Abstract

The Joint Warfare System (JWARS) is being equipped with a Commander Model (CM) to perform situation assessment and Course of Action (COA) selection, and a Commander Behavior Model (CBM) to bias decisions with a commander's leadership style. The CM is a hybrid artificial intelligence system that models doctrine through the use of fuzzy rule sets, together with a tree-based lookahead algorithm for the strategy. The CBM employs behavior-based fuzzy rule sets to augment the CM in assessing the situation, and in biasing the COA selection criteria. Extending from Myers-Briggs personality traits, the CBM links personality traits to military attitudes, consequences and values. Employing the fuzzy rule sets, the resulting sets of values are combined to select a specific COA with an auditable trail. Users will have the ability to modify both the input parameters and the underlying rules. The CM/CBM is applicable to decisions at multiple echelons.
