Case of Implementation of Automatic Planning for SAF

Abstract

Our Automatic Replanning enables simulation entities to execute goal oriented behavior planning by dynamic behavior linking. Existing methods especially in Semi-Automated Forces (SAF) are mainly executing strict plans which are given at initial stage, thus they are not effective to cope with contingencies especially in a human in the loop simulation where humans interrupt. Moreover, those usually suffer from explosion of behavior combination in attempt to describe all possible countermeasures, and such combinations may be prone to being inconsistent to the situations. Our method generates behavior sequence in which behavior are linked from the goal in the manner of back-propagation. Each behavior has tags of pre/post-conditions. The tags are linked dynamically according to a certain contingency. The method is being applied to a national defense research project to show feasibility.
