Intelligent Mobile Agents in Military Command and Control

چکیده
Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories has been designing and implementing intelligent mobile agent prototypes for various military applications since 1995. Through our experience working in the military domain, we have identified a number of agent capabilities that are common themes in many of our applications, including information push, information pull, and sentinel information monitoring. We have implemented reusable agent components to enable rapid development of agent-based applications, where information push, information pull, and sentinel information monitoring are desired behaviors. We have gained a number of valuable insights about mobile agent development , deployment, and agent capability requirements in military applications. These lessons learned can be applied to other domains that have characteristics similar to the military applications on which we have worked. These characteristics include constraints on network reliability and bandwidth, domain-dependent information processing, and complex, autonomous information processing involving large heterogeneous data resources.

متن کاملModeling Command Entities
A Command Entity (CE) is a goal-oriented intelligent agent specifically designed to command and control other agents. The CE niche, most often a military battlefield, is a complex, dynamic, adversarial environment in which a CE must balance the needs for thorough planning with the need for quick reactions to changing conditions. We describe the requirements of this environment, and how it const...
