Prodigy-Analogy, a combined case-based and generative planner developed by Carnegie Mellon University;
ForMAT (Force Management and Analysis Tool) that supports case-based force deployment planning developed
by [Raytheon] BBN Technologies [and MITRE; supports NSA knowledge acquisition]; and
PARKA, a highly indexed knowledge-based management system developed by the University of Maryland.

With JADE, a military planner can build a preliminary force deployment plan, including the Time Phased Force
Deployment Data (TPFDD) in less than one hour. This speed in plan construction is possible because JADE supports
the rapid retrieval and reuse of previous plan elements for use in the development of new plans. In addition, JADE
employs an easy to use map-oriented drag and drop interface where force modules (FMs) from previous plans (cases)
whose force capabilities and composition match the requirements of the current situation can be dragged from the case
library and dropped onto a geographic destination. Plan modification and/or adaption is supported through
remindings, e.g. each time that a force module is created or is copied into a plan (TPFDD) the user is automatically
44
reminded of the need for geographical changes.

JADE 2 was publicly announced, but its purpose remains obscured beneath cryptic military
45
acronyms and references to “simulations.” The truth is that JADE 2 is a network-centric
software-based AI program “at the helm” that can reconfigure its own network topography to
optimize data transfers. Not only is it aware but it is self-adaptive, self-reactive and self-
modeling for predictive forced deployment. It is preemptive in that it can interpret commanders’
intent and potential behaviors by means of macro-cognition mind mapping.
JADE 2 first collects masses of data from remote sensors and computers at data-dump places
like fusion centers and the Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity
Initiative Data Center in Bluffdale, Utah, then moves it into an HTA module to develop an HTS
to determine the behavioral parameter norms (and therefore Human Domain Deviations) for
individuals, groups, dense populations, etc. In seconds, JADE 2’s Prodigy Logic Module can
generate holographic simulations of battle plans, pre-crime plans, and “kill chains.” The CBR
(case-based reasoning module) then examines the mission statement and comes up with an
ACOA (adaptive course of action), all within seconds.
After sucking up sensor data, JADE 2 thinks, plans, and executes, its ultimate mission being
to transform C4 into total mastery of the Human Domain. With network-centric HTA and
activity-based Intelligence (ABI) tools, mastery of the Human Domain under the Geospatial
Intelligence (GeoINT) neural net is imminent.

JADE 2 has the ability to use vast amounts of data being collected on the Human Domain to develop an HTS [Human
Terrain System] for geographic locations to identify and eliminate targets flagged on a GIG [global information grid]
46
in Network Concentric Warfare.

It is not JADE 2 that “casts a neural net” but the nanosensors and microprocessors swimming
in our bloodstreams and brains and ionized atmosphere. All the mapping of our brains, emotions,
and behaviors goes into developing HTSs, but Mastering the Human Domain is the military
objective.
Finally, several months after the JADE 2 exercises throughout the American Southwest and
elsewhere had run their course in the mainstream media, a brouhaha erupted in Washington, D.C.
regarding “the controversial battlefield anthropology program known as the Human Terrain
47
System.” Apparently, the Army had said that the HTS was terminated in 2014, but then Rep.
Duncan Hunter (R-CA) on the Armed Services Committee discovered it was still very much
alive, being funded, and expanding. Given that HTS was initially presented to Congress as a
“battlefield anthropology program” and not a biometrics AI sweep of behavioral parameters, it is
no wonder that Congressman Hunter was incensed that from the beginning, the Army had misled
