DECS

Denied/Degraded Environments Command and Control Services (DECS)

DECS

DESCRIPTION

DECS enables decentralized command and control (C2)?in denied or degraded communications environments at?multiple distributed control nodes (DCNs). It optimizes?allocation for strike and SEAD missions through a bidding?mechanism across DCNs while persisting commander’s?guidance to ensure effects-based planning. DECS minimizes?plan differences between disconnected DCNs, minimizing?plan reconciliation effort and plan changes upon reconnecting. DECS was initially developed as part of AFRL/RI’s DistrO program. It is?currently a TRL 4-5 capability: demonstrated with 8-10 DCNs, planning for ~750 Joint Desired Point of Impact (JDPI) in under 15 minutes.

SOFTWARE SERVICES

Market-based Allocation:?
Provides all-domain resource allocation and?reallocation robust against uncertainties of the operational environment?conditions in real-time. It allows assets to switch tasks while minimizing ripple?effects.

Plan Repair:?
Rapidly adapts plans in response to actual or projected plan?failures. Our hierarchical task network (HTN) planner recovers and exploits?structured plan rationale (e.g., strategy-to-task linkages) to minimize plan?changes, ripple effects, and costs.

Assumption-based Planning:?
Enables nodes to continue developing?plans while staying coordinated to the largest degree possible even with?disconnected peer nodes, by using proxies to emulate peer planning decisions.

Resync:?
Communications established between nodes, allowing for rapid?resynchronization through plan quality metrics. Identifies high-quality plan?fragments, plans divergence metrics, quantifies plan differences, reconciles?multiple disparate plans with minimal changes to these divergent plans.

VALUE TO OPERATIONS

Enables employment of forces in?unpredictable and novel ways to create fog?and decision-complexity on the adversary

  • Loosely coupled forward nodes capable of?independent, disconnected C2 aligned to?commander’s objectives

  • Rapid resynchronization of distributed?nodes with minimal unit perturbation

  • Ability to respond rapidly to changes in an?operational environment

  • Plan generation with less experienced?personnel

  • Transparency in DECS reasoning furthering?trust in the system
