Data Broker Reasoner

摘要

A data broker-reasoner (DBR) system for automating mission planning and execution includes a context originating entity, a reasoner/decision entity, and a plurality of enforcement entities. The context originating entity extracts mission policy information from a variety of source materials, including checklists, manuals, and other documentation. The reasoner/decision entity interprets the mission policy in the context of situational awareness (SA) events to determine which policies should be enforced. Each of the enforcement entities is configured to enforce various policies within the context of a given mission lifecycle phase by providing commands, data, and requests to a plurality of user applications and/or other mission systems. The DBR can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously.
