Abstract

ATCIS (Army Tactical Command Information System) provides commanders and staff officers the battlefield information that is reported by tactical echelons under an army corps and the commanders make decisions based on the information by using their experience and specialty in military domain. If ATICS can automatically understand the reported information from rapidly changing battlefield and provide new knowledge that can support decision making, the commanders would be able to make faster and more accurate decision. In this paper, therefore, we propose an intelligent ATCIS using a national defense ontology. To this end, we built the national defense ontology by analyzing the electronic field manuals and ATCIS database, and then we defined military knowledge for decision making as a form of rule by interviewing several staff officers from different fields. In order to show how to apply the ontology and rules to decision making support for the commanders, we implemented a decision support service to estimate the possibility of enemy's provocation by using semantic web technologies.

육군전술지휘정보체계(ATCIS)에서는 군단급 이하의 전술제대들로부터 입력받은 전장정보를 부대 지휘관과 참모들에게 제공하며, 이를 바탕으로 지휘관은 자신의 야전 경험과 군사 전문성을 활용하여 지휘 결심을 하게 된다. 만약 급격하게 변화하는 전장 상황에서 ATCIS가 입력 받은 적 또는 전장 상황에 대한 정보의 의미를 자동으로 이해하여 지휘 결심에 도움을 줄 수 있는 새로운 지식을 제공할 수 있다면, 지휘관은 좀 더 빠르고 정확한 의사결정을 할 수 있게 될 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국방온톨로지를 활용한 지능형 ATCIS를 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 전자 교범과 ATCIS 데이터베이스 정보를 분석하여 국방온톨로지를 구축하였고, 부대 참모들의 인터뷰를 통하여 지휘 결심에 필요한 군사지식을 규칙 형태로 정의하였다. 또한 구축된 국방온톨로지와 규칙이 지휘관의 의사결정지원에 활용되는 것을 보이기 위해 시맨틱 웹 기술을 활용하여 적의 도발 가능성을 예측하는 서비스를 구현하였다.
