Abstract

"Information technology and the associated digitization of the battlespace provide a tremendous opportunity for enhancing US military warfighting capabilities. Additionally, the use and proliferation of Geographic Information Systems (GISs) and digitalmapping can further enhance military situation awareness and visualization. These advances have substantial application opportunities for the development of advanced tactical fire control support systems to support direct and indirect fires for target-richmulti-shooter environments. Here we propose an Integrated Software Environment for Battlespace Digital Mapping and Target Range Acquisition (DMAP). Our novel system integrates: 1) an in-house battlefield simulation and visualization software environmentwith COTS-based GIS processing for digital mapping support and target range acquisition; 2) a geometric approach for target location prediction augmented with conventional estimation algorithms and symbolic-based processing 3) an automated eventnotification and alarm generation component; and 4) a collaboration engine in tandem with argumentation-based response recommendation for enhanced decision support functionality.For Phase II we will: 1) enhance the Phase I system; 2) expand functionality to decision support; 3) implement a full-scope prototype; 4) demonstrate performance across multiple tactical scenarios; 5) provide a transition plan for follow-on systemintegration with DIFM and M
