We are seeking to identify the scenarios and demonstration storyboards which AIAI and SRI will use for their SUO work using the ARPI/PDA research results. The initial studies are pretty broad and may need narrowing later, but are the focus for the initial familiarisation, knowledge acquisition, and domain modeling work. The areas are all within the 4 existing SUO program demonstration scenarios. Ken Sharpe has asked that we seek to include an offensive and a defensive scenario within the initial study areas to ensure a suitable breadth of coverage.
A process is followed of receiving the mission OPORD, refining the plans, briefing them to the appropriate participants, working out contingencies, supporting training for those involved, and then supporting mission execution and replanning in the face of the actual situation encountered. For a one-off mission at the Squad level this command, planning and execution control process typically can take from 12 to 24 hours.
