Task Decomposition and Allocation in Tactical Team Based on Layered Agent

The task decomposition and allocation is a critical problem in the process of combat. Effective task decomposition and allocation strategy will help to improve the battle effectiveness. With the condition of tactical team, a new architecture of tactical team based on layered Agent is put forward in this paper according to the role and function of the combat entity in combat team. The function of different layered Agent has also been analyzed. Then this paper describes correlative definition about task and the task decomposition process. A method based on extended contract net is applied to the task allocation in tactical team. Finally a specific experiment example proves that our approaches are feasible and effective.
