Intelligence Preparation of the Battlefield (Automated) IPB(A).
Abstract
This report describes an operational concept for automated IPB operations, and summarizes an approach to representing terrain data on a CRT in terms of its impact on ground force mobility. It includes a similar approach to ground intervisibility, and a means of incorporating current weather information to provide effects on both mobility and intervisibility. A major emphasis is on describing automated IPB products and explaining how they could be (1) constructed in the field during normal planning cycles, and (2) used during hostilities to support intelligence functions, operation functions, and the commander's decision process.
