Two studies sponsored by the Air Force Avionics Laboratory to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of utilizing Artificial Intelligence techniques combined with modern estimation in tactical aircraft navigation are described. McDonnell Aircraft Company examined various approaches for achieving tactical navigation requirements for the 1990's environment, identified the preferred approach, evaluated potential benefits of this approach and developed a roadmap for developing such a system. The Analytic Sciences Corporation developed a prototype 'Expert Navigator' knowledge base based on aircrew interviews, explored a number of real-time inferencing techniques to provide pilot - advisories using the knowledge base and evaluated future directions for expanded functionality and architectures. Both contractors developed real-time laboratory systems to demonstrate the functionality and operation of their proposed 'Expert Navigators'. The results of these studies have shown that an intelligent, self-configuring navigation system can provide an optimum set of navigation data as a function of mission phase, ambient environment, and equipment status, while reducing pilot workload in diagnosis and on-line reconfiguration of the navigation suite.
