| Need |
Developing representations and algorithms to provide automated planning advice for complex military operations. |
| Solution |
Stottler Henke has developed BEACON, a system to provide an ontology of concepts suitable for representing key aspects of military plans and the narrative structure of historical cases that shed light on plan execution and outcomes. |
| Status |
BEACON explored the representational requirements for capturing the content of lessons learned in such a way as to support retrieval and presentation when relevant to planning while avoiding the ambiguities of text-based search. It demonstrates the utility of integrating lesson retrieval with tools for task work like mission planning. |
