In Phase I we have determined that existing decision analysis, artificial intelligence and operations research planning aids can be integrated in a research environment to provide a significant capability for addressing the overall hierarchical planning of tactical fighter air to ground missions. The aids selected during Phase I each address a different level of the offensive counter air (OCA) mission planning process: (1) Target Prioritization Aid (TPA) supports the user in determining the best enemy airfields to attack, given the number of friendly fighter bombers available; (2) KNOBS (knowldege based system) provides an interactive capability for assigning aircraft and ordnance to each target in turn, and (3) Route Planning Air (RPA) provides for finding a nearly optimal route to the target, with respect to survival of the fighter. An architecture has been designed to incorporate these three kernel aids within an integrated planning tool. As part of this design effort, we have produced a theory of hierarchical software systems and derived a body of design principles. Additional keywords: Air Force planning. (Author).
