Using AI planning technology for army small unit operations

摘要

In this paper, we outline the requirements of a planning and decision aid to support US Army small unit operations in urban terrain and show how AI planning technologies can be exploited in that context. The work is a rare example of a comprehensive use of AI technologies across the whole planning lifecycle, set in a realistic application in which the actual user community set the requirements. The phases involved include: ·Domain knowledge elicitation ·Rich plan representation and use ·Hierarchical Task Network Planning ·Detailed constraint management ·Goal structure-based plan monitoring ·Dynamic issue handling ·Plan repair in low and high tempo situations ·Interfaces for users with different roles ·Management of planning and execution workflow
