  • Mission plan paths for multi-domain assets
    Patent number: 11675348
    Abstract: A computer architecture includes an application program interface (API). The API does not include a user interface. The computer architecture asynchronously receives into the API data relating to mission plan domains from clients. The data include an identification of vehicles, goals of the vehicles, and threats to the vehicles. The mission plan domains include an air domain, a sea or ocean domain, and a land domain. The computer architecture uses a parallel processing scheme to process the mission plan domains from the clients for determining goal priorities for each of the plurality of vehicles, processing the data using a genetic algorithm and physics models associated with the plurality of vehicles, and transmitting to the vehicles path commands based on the processing of the genetic algorithm.
    Type: Grant

  • Computer architecture for resource allocation for course of action activities
    Patent number: 10877634
    Abstract: A computing machine receives an input comprising: a representation of one or more tasks and a representation of one or more assets. The computing machine initiates generation of a mission plan data structure comprising an assignment of an available asset to each task. Upon successfully generating the mission plan data structure, the computing machine provides an output comprising the mission plan data structure.
