Over the past three years, we have presented several papers on a model of data and information flow through a system: the Dynamic Model of Situated Cognition (DMSC). The DMSC has proved useful in a variety of settings: modeling individual performance, military C2, naval operations, human error in military mishaps, team behaviors in complex organizations and, most recently serving as an aid to s...

Military AI optimists predict future assisting or making command decisions. We instead argue that, at a fundamental level, these predictions are dangerously wrong. The nature of war demands decisions based on abductive logic, whilst machine learning (or ‘narrow AI’) relies inductive logic. two forms logic not interchangeable, and therefore AI’s limited utility in – both tactical strategic is so...

International historiography has extensively assessed the innovations in war practice experienced during First World War. However, consequences of trench warfare military cartographic production have not been fully investigated yet. Following this line, essay presents corpus historical archive Terza Armata (Third Army); had a fundamental role conflict, settling on Piave river after Caporetto an...

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is intended to treat potentially preventable causes of death on the battlefield, but acknowledges that application of these treatments may place the provider and even the mission in jeopardy if performed at the wrong time. Therefore, TCCC classifies the tactical situation with respect to health care provision into 3 phases (care under fire, tactical field ca...

In this study, a cross-docking system is designed at strategic and tactical levels. For making the strategic decisions, a multi-objective nonlinear location allocation model for cross-docks is presented based on a distri-bution location allocation model by Andreas Klose and Andreas Drexl. The model is further developed to in-clude the whole supply chain members and the objective functions are w...

Most researches in agent coordination for computer games focus on tactical/spatial coordination of NPCs (Non Playable Characters) seeking effective methods for accomplishing a collective task in the context of war games, FPS (First Person Shooters) and RTS (Real Time Strategy) (e.g., [Almeida et al. 2004; Madeira et al. 2005; Marthi et al. 2005]). Some research efforts have been employed to mak...

Moving military troops, which is critical to tactical success, depends on providing large quantities of fuel. We used simulation to model and analyze the Turkish army’s fuel-supply system that consists of sea-going tankers, tank fields, pipelines, and depots. We measured performance of the existing and proposed systems under various scenarios. We developed a simulation optimization model based ...

Georgia Tech, as part of DARPA's Tactical Mobile Robotics (TMR) Program, is developing a wide range of mission speci cation capabilities for the urban war ghter. These include the development of a range of easily con gurable mission-speci c robot behaviors suitable for various battle eld and special forces scenarios; communications planning and con guration capabilities for small teams of robot...

Autonomous robots have performed tasks that are too dangerous for humans and gone places no human has ever gone. From tactical robots that detect and disrupt explosives in war zone, to Mars rovers that roam the Martian surface, wireless communication between these robots and their hosts is an essential part of the overall system design. A host can utilize the wireless communication channel to o...
