Effective application of Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) knowledge and skills during real-world tactical operations to engage task spectrum is a challenge for the Fleet. Operators are at different skill levels, and there are many different and complex operational displays, modes, alerts, communications, and system capabilities. The ASW mission demands vigilance during search; integration of concepts and dynamic data leading to detection and initial classification; succinct reporting; accurate tracking and enhanced classification; and appropriate evasion techniques or weapons selection, settings, and engagement. Sonalysts, Inc. (Sonalysts) proposes the Undersea Warfare (USW) Tactical Advantage Support Kit (TASK), an innovative framework featuring Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based agents that dynamically adapt to different individual skill levels and tactical situations in real time, deciding the most effective times and ways to offer assistance. Different frameworks within TASK will parse tactical system messages, update the tactical picture, track operator actions for different task threads, assess real-time operational effectiveness, and adapt the timing, format, and content of the just-in-time assistance presented to the operator in order to make their work less complex and faster
