Artificial Intelligence in the Allocation of Maintenance Resources for Intelligence Systems

摘要

Commanders of Army military intelligence units in a tactical environment are responsible for keeping their assigned equipment maintained and in operation since early replacement in a conflict may not be possible. Scheduling maintenance assets to repair and service assigned equipment is critical to success. This paper discusses the development of an expert system to assist the commander in the proper allocation of his maintenance resources. Since this expert system assists in the resolution of an allocation of resources or scheduling problem, insight into the application of artificial intelligence to this type of problem is gained.
