“AOS HAS SOUGHT TO
BUILD A HIGH DEGREE OF TRANSPARENCY AND EXPLAINABILITY INTO THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES THAT PROVIDE THE ALERTS IN IBA”
and the situations that will trig- ger them. If during trials IBA is generating inappropriate alerts, the system analysts and Air Battle Managers can graphically trace the alert reasoning in IBA, and identify the cause.

modified as the operational circumstances change.
This unique capability distinguishes IBA from auto- mated alerting systems, or pattern-of-life AI approaches, ensuring that the Air Battle Managers determine the alerts
that IBA provides. C-BDI is also being applied to the ag- ricultural and mining industries, two of Australia’s major export earners.
