In this project, which is a joint effort by Louisiana State University (LSU) and the U.S. Army Topographic Engineering Center (TEC), we have developed a two level hierarchical automated military route planning system by combining software developed at LSU with software developed at TEC. This new system is called the Predictive Intelligence Military Tactical Analysis System (PIMTAS) and is applicable to military terrain vehicles (tanks, armored personnel carriers, autonomous land vehicles, etc.). This software system contains a very fast grid level route planner which was developed by combining the LSU and TEC grid level planners. PIMTAS employs two cost factors, traversal time and enemy threats, to determine the overall cost of the path. By selecting a particular set of weights, the military planner can put any desired degree of emphasis on each of these cost factors. PIMTAS has the capability to handle dynamic (changing) threats. If new threats appear or known threats disappear as the terrain vehicles move along their paths, the military planner can quickly update the battlefield map by using the mouse to add or remove threats. PIMTAS will then rapidly generate a new set of optimum paths, taking into account all of the threats that have been added or removed.
