Abstract

This report recommends that the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) move quickly to establish a program to encourage and support the application of artificial intelligence to DoD logistics. The report documents the success of the private sector in applying artificial intelligence (AI), particularly expert systems, to improve logistics processes. This success is used as a model for the Department of Defense (DoD). The most appropriate AI technologies are identified. The best short-term and long-term applications areas are discussed. Finally, the report recommends specific organizational and policy actions to be taken by OSD to implement the needed program. Keywords: Industrial research.
