Current command and control systems are analyzed to determine why
battlefield information management is not successful. Trends in
civilian decision aids for corporate executives are introduced and
contrasted with military requirements. The capabilities of
rule-based systems are discussed and a base line for their use in
the command estimate is introduced. Observations of the command
estimate made by the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) and the
Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences
(ARI) are analyzed to determine areas of the command estimate that
can benefit from assistance with rule-based systems. A detailed
examination of the flow of information through the command estimate
process is conducted using techniques of systems analysis.
Additionally, the Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (IPB)
is analyzed using the same methodology. This study of the
information flows and the types of information managed by each
process indicates areas that can be enhanced with assistance by
rule-based systems. The study concludes that rule-based systems can
be used to automate the IPB process and significantly contribute to
portions of the command estimate. The role these systems can play
is best described as a staff aid. Functions would include
expression and dissemination of the commander's intent, creation of
planning time lines and synchronization matrices, standardization
of mission statements, performance of the IPB, assistance and
maintenance of task organizations, tracking of critical events, and
creation and dissemination of warning orders.
