Airborne tactical decision making is degraded as a result of sophisticated threat capabilities, high data rates and uncertainties, and the necessity for timely response. Under investigation at the Naval Air Development Center is the concept of a plan recognition model to assist the tactical decision maker in interpreting and predicting the activities of enemy platforms. * On-going work in the field of plan recognition was surveyed, knowledge acquisition conducted, and a prototype plan recognition model has emerged. The model is a hierarchical, black-board based adaptation of a more general architecture of cognition. The model attempts to overcome some of the perceived shortfalls of other approaches relative to the com-plexities of the tactical situation. Ex-tensions to accommodate uncertain events and elusive goals in multi-hypothesis situations are the focus of current activities. I
