Models of decision making can be useful in a number of applications. Building, validating, and creating the uses for such models is usually a significant undertaking for any domain of interesting size. The Air Combat Maneuvering Expert System Trainer (ACMEST) Project used knowledge acquisition techniques developed in artificial intelligence to construct models of pilot tactical decision making, and to implement those models as rule-based inference system. The model implementations were then used in a man-in-the-loop simulation environment to teach air combat maneuvering. The resulting system serves as a proof-of-concept demonstrator, but must have greater flexibility in knowledge representation, validated models, and improvements in display capability to become useful in operational training.
