  1. Dynamic Planning & Execution Presented to KSCO 2007 1st May 2007, Waltham, MA Major Andy Aitken, Dstl Todd Humiston, AFRL Jitu Patel, Dstl

  2. Outline • Background • A Military Perspective of DP&E • Conceptual Model • Example Application Domains • Issues & Challenges • Conclusions

  3. Background • Summation of TTCP AG1 work

  4. The Technical Cooperation Program • Formed in 1957 • Aim – to foster cooperation in the science and technology needed for conventional national defence • Purpose – to enhance national defence at reduced cost • TTCP Nations – AUS, CAN, NZ, UK, US • Action Group 1 formed in 2003

  5. Action Group 1

  6. Background (2) • Summation of TTCP AG1 work • Contemporary Operating Environment • Disorder, Complexity & Uncertainty • Constantly changing situation • Agility required • Planning & Execution processes

  7. A Military Perspective of DP&E • Short Study – UK operational community • No official definition

  8. AG1 Definition of DP&E “The capability to continuously develop, analyse, select and flexibly execute a robust course of action based on a commander’s evolving intent, situational awareness and capabilities.”

  9. A Military Perspective of DP&E (2) • Short Study – UK operational community • No official definition • Concepts & Doctrine • Recent Operational Experience • Dynamic Environment – planning time reduced • Planning process needs adaptation • Require capability to plan quickly

  10. Conceptual Model

  11. Current Planning & Execution

  12. Change in the Situation

  13. Impact of a change in the situation • Already alter execution – technology? • Information exchange: J5/J35/J3 • Replanning takes time - speed • Maximum use of ‘old’ plan • How can technology support the human to plan quicker and better following change?

  14. Example Application Domains • Identify potential areas for collaboration • Common interest • Effects Based Operations • Logistics for Agile Forces • Wide Area Time Sensitive Airspace Coordination • WATSAC & DP&E

  15. Wide Area Time Sensitive Airspace Coordination (WATSAC) • Airspace Management/Coordination • Resolution of conflicts • Deconfliction of airspace during initial planning • Centralised, inefficient process • Improvements in technology • Near real time plan representation & coordination • Dynamic airspace deconfliction • Cooperative airborne ISR missions

  16. Issues & Challenges Issues central to having a DP&E capability: • Subjectivity • Static Representation • Timeliness • Residual value • Coordination

  17. Issues & Challenges (2) • Plan Representation Languages • Capture context, assumptions & decision rationale • Link components & levels of comd • Facilitation of human/machine exchanges • Multi Agent Coordination • Architectures & lack of unified framework • Constrained environments • Uncertain/open environments

  18. Conclusions • DP&E is not well understood • Desirable military capability • Richer plan representation • Application of coordination mechanisms • How can technology better enable us to execute plans in a dynamic environment?
