Fight Tonight BAA Industry Day Announcement

The Fight Tonight program is a significant transformational 6.3 investment that seeks to revolutionize air operations planning by leveraging artificial intelligence, with an interactive game engine for building, rehearsing and assessing combat plans. This capability will enable combat planners to reason about plausible futures quickly to increase the planners’ confidence that they have crafted the best plan possible within the constraints of a highly dynamic conflict against peer adversaries. The goal is to provide a revolutionary capability to enable planners to rapidly explore and access plausible futures to select the best plan(s) given a dynamic environment.  This will accelerate the planning process and to allow the exploration of potential courses of action for the Air Operations Center (AOC) Strategy and Combat Plans divisions. The Strategy Division in the AOC converts guidance to objectives, performs mission analysis, course of action development, analysis and selection. These processes will be enhanced by tools that can generate and assess the feasibility of more plans than humans are capable of without the aid of technology. The Combat Plans Division develops detailed execution plans that meet the constraints of the operating environment, performing the detailed analysis and generation of artifacts for Air Tasking Order preparation and re-tasking. The complexity of these activities and the need for close collaboration are the main drivers for the 36 hours currently used to complete the Master Air Attack Plan (MAAP) process in the AOC.
