BATTLE illustrates the application of several artificial intelligence techniques to a decision aid for the Marine Corps. A pruned tree traversal, though not guaranteed to discover the 'optimal' solution, will attack the problem of assigning targets from the viewpoint of finding a globally optimal assignment plan. This should be an improvement on present algorithms that optimize weapon to target assignments only in a local sense. Inference networks allow BATTLE to consider many relevant environmental conditions while making its decisions. The use of dynamic inference networks allows military experts to update the program and keep it consistent with changes in military doctrine without actually altering the computer code. These design considerations should be useful in some future version of the Marine Integrated Fire and Air Support System (MIFASS), the current decision aid under production for the Marine Corps.Read More
