Abstract:

This report documents subject matter experts SMEs assessments of the knowledge base of the Avenue of Approach AA Generation Tool, a module of the AirLand Battle Management ALBM Advanced Technology Demonstration ATD decision aid prototype, version 1.2. This is one of a series of assessments of the ALBM ATD prototype conducted during its development. The AA Generation Tool will generate an AA given an initial location, objective, and force template. It uses terrain data obtained from the Tactical Decision Aids terrain data base in generating the AA. In general, SMEs thought that the concept for automatic AA generation was good, but the current implementation was of marginal use. Specific recommendations for improvement are provided.
