Cognitive interactive mission planning system and method

A cognitive interactive mission planning system apparatus comprising:

• an adversarial planning engine configured to execute an adversarial planning model in order to develop one or more plans for one or more controlled agents based on possible actions of one or more uncontrolled agents to provide a plurality of plans which includes a best plan for the one or more controlled agents in each of the one or more possible worlds based on a scoring function;
• a cognitive behavior engine configured to execute a cognitive behavior model which predicts the likelihood the one or more controlled agents and/or the one or more uncontrolled agents will take one or more of the possible actions in a particular situation;
• and
• a problem solver engine configured to query the adversarial planning engine and the cognitive behavior engine to develop a conditional mission plan which provides solutions to the user defined mission goals and problems.

A cognitive interactive mission planning method comprising:

• receiving input in the form of mixed initiative interaction and user defined mission goals and problems;
• storing and retrieving domain knowledge and rules associated with properties of each of one or more possible worlds of interest and the user defined mission goals and problems;
• executing an adversarial planning model in order to develop one or more plans for one or more controlled agents based on possible actions of one or more uncontrolled agents to provide a plurality of plans which includes a best plan for the one or more controlled agents in each of the one or more possible worlds based on a scoring function;
• executing a cognitive behavior model which predicts the likelihood the one or more controlled agents and/or the one or more uncontrolled agents will take one or more of the possible actions in a particular situation;
• and
• querying the adversarial planning engine and the cognitive behavior engine to develop a conditional mission plan which provides solutions to the user defined mission goals and problems.
