Abstract. As the pace of modern battle has increased, headquarter staffs
have had to process increasing volumes of information in a
decreasing amount of time. Assistance in this critical task must
be provided by computer-based command systems that can automate time-consuming
tasks. However, conventional computer-based systems provide only limited assistance in
the intellectual tasks of planning and decision making. Potential to
assist in these areas is provided by artificial intelligence (AI),
which is vaunted as the next great revolution in information
processing. This paper addresses the potential roles of AI in
a battlefield command system. AI is briefly introduced, as are
the relevant command and control tasks. The potential roles of
AI are then discussed for each of these tasks and
three operating modes are proposed to provide a framework for
the consideration of new AI applications as they are developed.
