The Battlefield Commander's Assistant Project: Research in Terrain Reasoning
1987
Shapiro, Daniel G. | Tollander, Carl
The Battlefield Commander's Assistant project (BCA) was a three year, three man-year effort to first identify, and then prototype an artificial intelligence based tool for supporting battalion operations. We selected terrain reasoning as the most important (high impact) application area, and ultimately created a terrain analysis and planning system (TAPS) prototype. This report documents TAPS in its entirety, but for completeness it also discusses early efforts in identifying potential application areas, and in exploring alternative approaches to some of the technical problems of terrain reasoning. A number of these ideas are worth pursuing in the future, even if they were not incorporated into TAPS. Partial contents: The terrain reasoning problem; The design of TAPS - - TAPS architecture, The Geographically Intelligent Database (GINDB); and The world model. Keywords: Military geography; Artificial intelligence; Military strategy; Land warfare.
