KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION AND STRATEGY GENERATION WITH LG WARGAMING TOOLS

This paper describes a wargaming software kit, which includes two software tools, LG-CONSTRUCTOR and LG-STRATEGIST. Both are based on the new type of game theory called Linguistic Geometry (LG) for solving higher-dimensional Abstract Board Games (ABG). LG-CONSTRUCTOR will supply warfighters at all levels with the patterns of war games. With LG-CONSTRUCTOR, a warfighter will be able to consider and visualize the most viable patterns and quickly convert them into the LG hypergame, most adequate to the current mission. The adequacy of construction will be tested on the "fly" by playing and re-playing semi-finished hypergames. Employing this hypergame, LG-STRATEGIST will generate the best strategies for the military operation for all the contesting sides of the conflict. It will plan the entire operation, assess possible courses of actions (COA) for all sides, select counteractions, control operation by re-planning in real time, and play and re-play various "what-if" scenarios.
