Computer-Assisted Planning

Abstract

The report describes the practical implications and potential uses of computer technology in comprehensive military planning. The program, called Computer-Assisted Planning has two major objectives. The first is to provide military planners with models and procedures that will assist them both in strategic and tactical planning and in planning the acquisition and use of computation and communications resources. The second is to develop technologies and procedures that will enable planners to interface with their computers directly, through ordinary language and notational systems. Progress is described in three major areas of study: (1) Computation and Communication Tradeoffs Study (CACTOS); (2) Natural Computer Input/Output; and (3) Systems Research and Interactive Systems. Plans for work during the remaining six months of the contract period are presented.
