Abstract

A computer-implemented system and method for generating a tactical route to a battlefield destination including an Intervisibility Analyzer for analyzing propagation of optical lines of sight in a geographic terrain, a Speed Analyzer for analyzing speed of travelers in the geographic terrain, and a Route Generator for generating routes that facilitate tactical movement. The Intervisibility Analyzer and Speed Analyzer are used by a Cost Generator to determine tactical movement costs in geographic terrain. The Route Generator includes a Cost Evaluator for evaluating the cost of an edge during route generation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for generating tactical routes, the system comprising:
 an intervisibility analyzer for analyzing propagation of optical lines of sight between locations in a geographic terrain,   a speed analyzer for analyzing speeds of travelers across locations in said geographic terrain, and   a route generator for generating routes that facilitate tactical movement based on said intervisibility and speed analyses.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises means for meeting a speed constraint. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for avoiding slow areas. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for computing intervisibility sums. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for computing intervisibility unions. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for minimizing intervisibility sums. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for minimizing intervisibility unions. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for maximizing intervisibility sums per distance traveled. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route analyzer comprises means for maximizing intervisibility unions per distance traveled. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for meeting a speed constraint and 
 means for computing intervisibility sums. 
 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for meeting a speed constraint and 
 means for computing intervisibility unions. 
 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for avoiding slow areas and 
 means for computing intervisibility sums. 
 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for avoiding slow areas and 
 means for computing intervisibility unions. 
 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for meeting a speed constraint and 
 means for minimizing intervisibility sums. 
 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for meeting a speed constraint and 
 means for minimizing intervisibility unions. 
 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for avoiding slow areas and 
 means for minimizing intervisibility sums. 
 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for avoiding slow areas and 
 means for minimizing intervisibility unions. 
 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for meeting a speed constraint and 
 means for maximizing intervisibility sums per distance traveled. 
 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for meeting a speed constraint and 
 means for maximizing intervisibility unions per distance traveled. 
 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for avoiding slow areas and 
 means for maximizing intervisibility sums per distance traveled. 
 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said route generator comprises:
 means for avoiding slow areas and 
 means for maximizing intervisibility unions per distance traveled.
