Real-time execution of ai algorithms is not possible on conventional ai computers. Under an earlier contract W. W. Gaertner Research, Inc. Has developed the (AI)2 - artificial intelligence and artificial instinct - architecture which combines traditional ai procedures with a very fast and sophisticated database lookup capability in special hardware, to achieve the much shorter response time needed for "real -time". It has been proposed to adapt this architecture to the pilot aid application and to inject the use of statistical concepts (initially bayesian decision analysis) to address the problem of incomplete and contradictory data. Under phase I, the (AI)2 concept has been expanded further to allow for real,-time execution of certain frequency used AI operations and to allow the handling of uncertainty and inconsistency, both in additional proprietary custom hardware. For phase II it is now proposed to design and build an (AI)2 develop" ment work stations, and to demonstrate its usefulness via several examples in tactics, aircrew safety and pilot dependence of decision processes.
