AUTOMATED WEATHER FACTOR ANALYSIS AND DISPLAY

EFFECTIVE INTELLIGENCE PREPARATION OF THE BATTLEFIELD (IPB) MUST INCLUDE WEATHER PREDICTION, ANALYSIS, AND EFFECTS. IT IS WELL WITHIN THE STATE-OF-THE-ART OF AUTOMATION THAT WEATHER ANALYSIS FOR EFFECTS ON TACTICAL OPERATIONS CAN BE IMPLEMENTED ON MICROCOMPUTERS AND INTEGRATED WITH ONGOING EFFORTS TO APPLY EXPERT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY TO WEATHER PREDICTION AND USE. CCI WILL COMBINE KNOWLEDGE-ENGINEERINGTOOLS WITH GEOPROCESSING SOFTWARE TO IMPLEMENT A WEATHER FACTOR ANALYIS AND DISPLAY SYSTEM, THEREBY PROVING FEASIBILITY AND UTILITY AND SETTING THE STAGE FOR REFINEMENT AND EXTENSION OF WEATHER/TERRAIN ANALYSIS.
