A real-time knowledge processing executive for Army rotorcraft applications

The authors describe research in the development of a real-time knowledge-based system execution environment suitable for use in next-generation Army helicopters. They first describe the unique problems which must be solved in real-time knowledge processing applications. They then describe an overall processing architecture for achieving the requisite real-time performance. The execution environment is being specifically designed for embedded applications such as the mission equipment package of the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter. The environment will provide the requisite software execution facilities which heretofore have not been available in an integrated embedded execution environment. This execution environment will provide the control features required to manage real-time problem solving.<<ETX>>
