Army Science Board 2001 AD HOC Study "Knowledge Management"
Abstract
The Army Science Board was tasked to conduct a study on "Knowledge Based Management and Information Reliability" to examine innovative ways of addressing technology issues that have the potential to "weigh down" future warfighters with massive amounts of data. Specific subtaskings include: (1) Define Knowledge Management and Information Assurance technologies for the Objective Force; (2) Define the strategy for conquering information glut through fundamental soldier/team enabling technologies and processes from conceptual to geo-spatial; (3) Examine technology and operational concepts to mitigate asymmetric threats; (4) Provide a 2008-2012 roadmap to enable small, autonomous processing that facilitates knowledge production, sharing and decision making. The ASB central recommendation is to incorporate and grow KM in the IBCTs. Other recommendations include: (1) Designation of KM and Info Assurance technologies as essential for Knowledge Dominance; (2) Building tactical Knowledge Management on the foundation of the existing Army Knowledge Online, the Army's excellent enterprise application; (3) Establish doctrine incorporating KM & IA technologies into Objective Force systems, including OF Combat Battalion and OF Soldier Systems; (4) Implementing a KM Center of Excellence (ARL & TRADOC); and (5) Investing in Process, Technology and Training to ensure Knowledge Dominance.
