Course of Action Display and Evaluation Tool (CADET) offers a practical
approach to semi-automated interleaved planning and scheduling of military
tasks.
Originating as an SBIR and supported by ArmyCECOM, the Battle Command Battle Labs (BCBL) at
Ft. Leavenworth and Huachuca, and by Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA),
CADET evolved into the most capable technology
available today for planning of tactical operations.
CADET addresses the central issues of Course of
Action (COA) development and wargaming.
CADET takes a sketch and
statement as an input, and
produces detailed schedules of
100’s of tasks, usage of
resources, risks and losses,
actions of the enemy, and
routing.
CADET performs
detailed logistical
analysis including
projected ordnance and
POL consumption and
CSS planning at
several echelons.
CADET estimates personnel and weapon systems attrition
mimicking the evaluations performed by Army’s experts.
CADET considers details of logistics such as the
number and type of vehicles, type and amount of
ordnance, and gallons and type of fuel carried by
each unit.
CADET can automatically generate unit routes
based on route segment factors such as threat,
accessibility, concealment, and canalization.
CADET has been applied as a significant
component within several different
developmental Army Command & Control
decision support systems.
Integrated with the CECOM’s
Battlefield, Planning, and Visualization
(BPV) system, CADET performs
detailed planning while BPV provides
visualization of movements.
In the DARPA CPOF program, CADET was integrated with
the FOX-GA system. This integration utilizes transfer of
XML information which conforms to a generic XML
framework passed through Java Messaging Service (JMS).
This XML file is translated into high-level COA in CADET
through the utilization of XSL technologies.
Within the ICCES system and experiments
conducted by BCBL-L, CADET obtains its
input from computerized sketching and
statement-entry modules.
Integrated with ASAS-Light system, CADET automatically
extracts data from the ASAS database, and generates and
schedules ISR tasks for assets such as UAVs and others, based on
the maneuver COA.
