Development of Data Processing Strategies for Potential Application in the Tactical Operations Systems (TOS) and Other Tactical Data Systems

摘要

Discussed are improved procedures/data processing methodologies for forecasting battlefield personnel attrition and for reporting logistics status. Two active Army divisions provided information vis-a-vis how the two lattermentioned functions now are performed manually. This information provided the basis for the development of a data processing strategy concept which, if implemented in an automated tactical data system, should greatly improve the accuracy and timeliness with which the functions addressed can be performed. An experiment conducted with Command and General Staff College students confirmed that the timeliness and accuracy of the target functions would be significantly improved.
