Abstract:

This paper describes a prototype system for quickly developing joint military courses of action. The system, SOCAP System for Operations Crisis Action Planning, combines a newly extended version of an AI planning system, SIPE-2 System for Interactive Planning and Execution, with a color map display and applies this technology to military operations planning. This paper describes the Socap problem domain, how SIPE-2 was used to address this problem, and the strengths and weaknesses of our approach.
