SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COGNITIVE DECISION SUPPORT IN A CONDITION BASED FLEET SUPPORT SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A fleet management system comprising:
- a first cognitive decision support system configured to process information regarding a plurality of platforms comprising a fleet capable of an overall fleet mission, the first cognitive decision support system further configured to generate a list of condition based response activities for one or more platforms of the plurality of platforms and a weighted ranking of the probability of success of each such condition based response activity;
a second cognitive decision support system capable of being tasked by the first cognitive decision support system to, and configured to, provide a plurality of ranked courses of action for the one or more platforms; and
a third cognitive decision support system capable of being tasked by the second cognitive decision support system to, and configured to, assess the resource availability for each condition based response activity;
wherein the second cognitive decision support system is further configured to generate from the list of condition based response activities and the resource availability assessment for each condition based response, a plurality of recommended courses of action for the one or more platforms.

Abstract
A cognitive decision support fleet management and maintenance decision system may comprise a first cognitive decision support system to process information regarding a plurality of platforms and generate a list of condition based response activities and a weighted ranking of the probability of success of each condition based activity. A second cognitive decision support system may be tasked by the first to, and configured to, provide a plurality of ranked courses of action. A third cognitive decision support system may be tasked by the second to, and be configured to, assess resource availability for each condition based response activity. The second cognitive decision support system may be further configured to generate from the list of condition based response activities and the resource availability assessment for each condition based response, a plurality of recommended courses of action for the platform. The courses of action may be weighted according to an order of preference in carrying out each.

6. A fleet mission performance management system comprising:
-
a fleet agent capable of receiving status information regarding platforms within a fleet of platforms, fleet data information defining the platforms comprising the fleet, and a mission capability of each platform for a particular platform mission and platform equipment requirements for such mission capability, the fleet agent being configured to generate a list of condition based response activities for each platform and a probability of success of each such condition based response activity; a course of action agent configured to receive the list of the condition based response activities from the fleet agent and to utilize the list of condition based response activities to generate a resource availability request for each such condition based response activity; and a resource agent configured to receive the resource availability request and access information regarding the performance steps needed to perform each such condition based response activity, and the availability of any resource needed to perform each such performance step, the resource agent further configured to generate a resource availability status report to the course of action agent; wherein the course of action agent is further configured to use the resource availability status report for each condition based response activity, and provide a weighted list of courses of action. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A fleet maintenance management system comprising:
-
a fleet agent capable of receiving status information regarding platforms within a fleet of platforms, fleet data information defining the platforms comprising the fleet, the status information comprising a list of condition based maintenance response activities and for each activity in the list of condition based maintenance response activities, a weighting of the likelihood that each activity will resolve a fault condition in a fleet platform; a course of action agent configured to receive the list of the condition based maintenance response activities from the fleet agent and utilize the list of condition based maintenance response activities to generate a resource availability request for each such condition based maintenance response activity; and a resource agent configured to receive the resource availability request and access information regarding the performance steps needed to perform each such condition based maintenance response activity, and the availability of any resource needed to perform each such performance step, the resource agent further configured to generate a condition based maintenance response resource availability status report to the course of action agent; wherein the course of action agent is further configured to use the resource availability status report for each condition based maintenance response activity and provide a weighted list of courses of action. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A method for managing fleet mission performance, the method comprising:
-
receiving status information regarding platforms within a fleet of platforms and fleet data information defining mission capability of particular platforms for a particular platform mission in a fleet agent and generating in the fleet agent an output comprising a list of the status of platform mission capability for each platform for at least one mission; receiving the list of the status of platform mission capability from the fleet agent in a course of action agent and utilizing the course of action agent to generate a list of condition based response activities and to generate a resource availability request for each such condition based response activity; receiving the resource availability request in a resource agent and accessing through the resource agent, information regarding the performance steps needed to perform each such condition based response activity and the availability of any resource needed to perform each such performance step, and generating in the resource agent a resource availability status report to the course of action agent; and using the resource availability status report for each condition based response activity in the course of action agent along with an operational requirements rules engine and associated knowledge base to generate a set of courses of action. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
