Abstract

OUR OBJECTIVE IS TO DEVELOP AN INTEGRATED LOGISTICS PLANNING SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME DECISION SUPPORT TO FIELD LOGISTICIAN AND LOGISTICS PLANNERS: MEGAPLAN. THE SYSTEM, IMPLEMENTED IN COMMON LISP ON TI EXPLORER COMPUTERS, WILL USE AN AI-BASED DECISION SUPPORT CORE TO UNIFY (1) DATA BASE, (2) SYSTEM SIMULATION, AND (3) LOGISTICAL ANALYSIS CAPABILITIES. THE SYSTEM WILL USE A MULTISCREEN GRAPHICAL ENVIRONMENT FOR USER INTERFACE. THIS WILL ENABLE THE LOGISTICS PLANNER TO INTERACT WITH TERRAIN AND SPATIAL MODELS, AND TO VIEW DATA (E.G., ON INVENTORY, SITE CONDITIONS, TRANSPORTATION ASSESTS, ETC.) AS NEEDED. THE AI-BASED DECISION SUPPORT CORE SERVES AS A BUFFER BETWEEN THE USER AND THE SYSTEM TO HELP FORMALIZE LOGISTICAL PROBLEMS, RETRIEVE NECESSARY DATA, AND INTERPRET ANALYSES. WE ENVISION THAT AN INTEGRATED LOGISTICS PLANNING SYSTEM HAS BROAD MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS, NOT ONLY IN TACTICAL SITUATIONS BUT IN A VARIETY OF PROJECT SUPPORT ACTIVITIES (E.G., CONSTRUCTION).
