Case Based Disruption Monitoring

Mine Countermeasures Missions (MCM) take place in very complex and uncertain environments which poses complexity for planning and explanation algorithms. In order to keep a mission on target, constant disruption monitoring and frequent schedule adjustments are needed. To address this capability gap, we have developed the Case-Based Disruption Monitoring and Analyzing (CDMA) algorithm. The CDMA algorithm automatically detects disruptions within a mission and attempts to determine possible root causes. Once confirmed, our second developed algorithm, CLOSR modifies existing schedules to compensate for these root causes. Evaluation of CDMA on simulated MCM operations demonstrates the effectiveness of case-based disruption monitoring. Both the CDMA and CLOSR algorithms, along with simulator, are enclosed with our
