It is a connected set of working papers: minimal attempt has been made to polish the prose, and redundancies occur. There remain needed additions and modifications. These will be made as the authors adapt the ideas for use in planning models that are under current, and future military development. Work on the simulation model has been supplanted by an analytical scoping model, Battlespace Information War (BAT/IW). The emphasis of the report is upon recognition, characterization and exploitation and control of aspects of uncertainty in military operations. It emphasizes simple low-resolution representations of the products of generic imaging sensors. Later work will deal with other input, such as ELINT and COMINT. We provide ideas as to how such information products can be combined or fused, basically using a Bayesian and Gaussian/Normal-distribution theory format for computational and conceptual convenience. We investigate processes for probabilistically updating opponent course of action (COA) estimates. Many of the computational ideas and algorithms have been incorporated in a computer program termed Joint Warfare Analysis Experimental Prototype (JWAEP). The latter runs on a SUN computer.Read More
