Intelligent pairing assistant for air operation centers
Jeremy Ludwig, Eric E. Geiselman · 2012
Within an Air Operations Center (AOC), planners make crucial decisions to create the air plan for any given day. They are expected to complete the plan in part by pairing targeting or collection tasks with the available platforms. Any assistance these planners can acquire to help create the plan in a timely manner would make the entire process more efficient and effective. This paper describes the Intelligent Pairing Assistant (IPA) prototype, which would provide pairing recommendations at specific decision points in the planning process. IPA is designed as a plug-in for software systems already in use within AOCs. The primary contribution described in this paper is the application of existing research in intelligent user interfaces to a novel domain.
