Abstract
The Navy is taking advantage of advances in computational technologies and data analytic methods to automate and enhance tactical decisions to support warfighters in highly complex combat environments. Novel automated techniques offer opportunities for tactical warfighter support through enhanced situational awareness, automated reasoning and problem-solving, and faster decision timelines. This capstone project investigated the use of artificial Intelligence and game theory to develop real-time wargaming capabilities to enhance warfighters in their ability to explore and evaluate the possible consequences of different tactical COAs to improve tactical missions. This project applied a systems analysis approach and developed a conceptual design of a wargaming real-time Artificial Intelligence decision-aid (WRAID) system capability to support the future tactical warfighter. An operational scenario was developed and used to conduct an operational analysis of the WRAID capability. The project identified requirements for the future WRAID capabilities and studied implementation challenges (including ethical) that will need to be addressed
