Publication number: 20170299398Abstract: A method, system and computer readable media for route re-planning including generating enemy force movement predictions to be used during mission planning. During a mission, enemy force movements can be compared to the predictions. By using enemy force movement predictions for an initial comparison, the enemy force movements may only need to be compared to the own force mission plan if the enemy forces deviate from the predictions. When enemy force movement deviates from the predictions, new enemy force movement predictions can be generated. The new enemy force movement predictions can then be compared to the own force mission plan to determine if a route re-plan is needed. The route can be re-planned to determine a route that reduces or eliminates the chance of a lethal encounter with an enemy or threat.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2016Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: James C.

Patent number: 9030347Abstract: Systems and methods for improving vehicle survivability. In some embodiments, threat information relating to at least one potential threat against at least one vehicle during a mission may be accessed. The threat information may comprise threat location information indicative of at least one likely location for the at least one potential threat and at least one model associated with the at least one potential threat. Prior to commencing the mission, the threat information may be used to assign a numerical measure to each potential action of a plurality of potential actions for the at least one vehicle based at least in part on at least one measure of the at least one vehicle resulting from executing the potential action. The plurality of potential actions may be compared based at least in part on the respective numerical measures assigned to the plurality of potential actions.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Carl R.

Patent number: 8509961Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing non-authoritative observational data during a coordinated operation, such as a military mission. Actuation of a trigger control initiates a retrieval procedure for collecting observational data from at least one system incorporated in a vehicle. Categories associated with an observational event may be selected to classify the observational data, and the selected category may be stored with the observational data in a memory. The observational data may be stored in the memory as one or more data structures called “tags.” A tag may be transmitted in real time to one or more operators in the coordinated operation via a wireless network. Stored observational information may be reviewed and edited by an operator to add additional annotations to a tag. A secondary review by supervising personnel may determine if the non-authoritative tag should be added to an authoritative source used for planning of future missions.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Daniel R.

Publication number: 20130124089Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for determining an optimal flight path from a starting point to a destination point within an allotted time interval. The time interval is divided into a plurality of time periods. For each time period, a plausibility region is determined, representing an area reachable by an aircraft by an end of the time period, but from which the aircraft can reach the destination point within the remaining time. An expected region of influence is determined for at least one threat at each time period, and a constituent cost map is generated by assigning a cost to cells within the overlap of the region of influence and the plausibility region. The constituent cost maps are combined into a final cost map. The optimal path is determined as a lowest cost path from the starting point to the destination point, and displayed to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2011Publication date: May 16, 2013Inventors: Carl R.
