HICAP integrates a hierarchical task editor with a planning tool. Military planners select a task to decompose in the task editor and then use the planning tool to interactively refine it into an operational plan. (2) SHOP and SHOP2 are some simple, practical planning tools based on HTN planning. Their practical utility is shown by the mergence of an active set of users, which include government laboratories, industrial R\&D projects, and academic settings. SHOP2 received one of the top four awards in the 2002 International Planning Competition. (3) The Air Force Research Laboratory{\textquoteright}s Causal Analysis Tool (CAT) is a system for creating and analyzing causal models similar to Bayesian networks. We have enhanced CAT by developing an approach to quickly generate plans that have high probabilities of success.}, keywords = {*ARTILLERY AMMUNITION, *HIGH CAPACITY PROJECTILES, AMMUNITION AND EXPLOSIVES, BAYES THEOREM, COALITION, Collaboration, Computer architecture, COMPUTER HARDWARE, Computer networks, HICAP(HIGH CAPACITY ARTILLARY PROJECTILES), MILITARY COMMANDERS, NEO(NONCOMBATANT EVACUATION OPERATIONS), NONCOMBATANT., PE63760E, planning, probability, PROJECTILE TRAJECTORIES, TASK SUPPORT, WUAFRLATEMPO02}, url = {http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?\&verb=getRecord\&metadataPrefix=html\&identifier=ADA431023}, author = {Nau, Dana S.} }
