Abstract

We present an investigation using mixed reality technology to visualize decision-making dynamics for a Friendly vs Hostile wargame in a Multi-Domain Operation environment. The requirement of penetrate and dis-integrate phases under Multi-Domain Operations aligns well with the advantages of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning because of 1) very short planning timeframe for decision-making, 2) simultaneous planning requirement for multiple operations, and 3) interdependence of operations. In our decision dynamics research, we propose to advance the art/science for wargaming by leveraging brain science to extend the use of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning algorithms and the use of mixed reality technology to visualize complex battlespace scenarios requiring a better understand of the dynamics in a complex decision making process.
