Commander behavior and course of action selection in JWARS

JWARS (Joint WARfare System) is being equipped with a Commander Model (CM) to perform situation assessment and course-of-action (COA) selection, and a Commander Behavior Model (CBM) to bias decisions with a commander's leadership style. The CM is a hybrid artificial intelligence system that models doctrine through the use of fuzzy rule sets, together with a tree-based look-ahead algorithm for the strategy. The CBM employs behavior-based fuzzy rule sets to augment the CM in assessing the situation and in biasing the COA selection criteria. Extending from Myers-Briggs personality traits, the CBM links personality traits to military attitudes, consequences and values. Employing the fuzzy rule sets, the resulting sets of values are combined to select a specific COA with an auditable trail. The users have the ability to modify both the input parameters and the underlying rules. The CM/CBM is applicable to decisions at multiple echelons.
