Towards an Agent-Based, Autonomous Tactical System for C4ISR Operations

摘要

Software agent involvement in combat computer systems can provide lightweight, dynamic automation to the warfighter. Current intelligence systems are limited by the abilities of the warfighters to gather, assimilate, report, and execute on intelligence. Through the research and design for the Overshadow system, we found using agents practical for automation capabilities in tactical systems where optimization of operation and human simulation are important factors. In the paper we provide an overview of the architecture and design decisions made during the Overshadow system development.
