Artificial intelligence-based hierarchical planning for manned/unmanned platforms

A system for coordinating a team of platforms, comprising:

• a global planning module implementing a global planning layer for;
• determining a collective goal for the team of the platforms;
• and
• determining, by applying at least one machine learning process, at least one respective platform goal to be achieved by at least one of the platforms to achieve the determined collective goal;
• a platform planning module implementing a platform planning layer for determining, by applying at least one machine learning process, at least one respective action to be performed by the at least one of the platforms to achieve the respective platform goal;
• and
• a platform control module implementing a platform control layer for determining at least one respective function to be performed by the at least one of the platforms to perform the at least one respective action;
• wherein information is shared between at least two of the global planning layer, the platform planning layer, and the platform control layer to assist in determining at least one of the collective goal for the team of the platforms, the at least one respective platform goal, the at least one respective action, and the at least one respective function;
• and
• wherein the global planning layer, the platform planning layer, and the platform control layer are trained separately.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon, software instructions that when executed by the at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform an artificial intelligence-based method for coordinating a team of platforms, the method comprising at least:

• implementing a global planning layer for;
• determining a collective goal for the team of the platforms;
• and
• determining, by applying at least one machine learning process, at least one respective platform goal to be achieved by at least one of the platforms to achieve the determined collective goal;
• implementing a platform planning layer for determining, by applying at least one machine learning process, at least one respective action to be performed by the at least one of the platforms to achieve the respective platform goal;
• and
• implementing a platform control layer for determining at least one respective function to be performed by the at least one of the platforms to perform the at least one respective action;
• wherein information is shared between at least two of the global planning layer, the platform planning layer, and the platform control layer to assist in determining at least one of the collective goal for the team of the platforms, the at least one respective platform goal, the at least one respective action, and the at least one respective function;
• and
• wherein the global planning layer, the platform planning layer, and the platform control layer are trained separately.
