This report presents some of the ways that applied expert system technology can be used to reduce the tremendous cognitive burden on combat commanders in the data-rich, highly stressful battlefield environment. The authors selected a tank platoon movement-to-contact in which an enemy force is ambushed to provide an early demonstration of some features of an 'expert' enhanced soldier-machine interface (SMI). Ten experienced tank platoon leaders participated in experimentation using one of the simulated M1 tank modules of the SIMNET-D facility at Fort Knox, KY. Navigation and maneuver performance was compared under two conditions: (1) Using current paper procedures, and (2) Using a computerized data management and display system incorporating expert system technology. The display system was based on a concept known as V(INT)2 SMI Demonstrator (VSD) was used. Performance with the VSD system was superior with respect to several tactically significant variables. Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Decision making, Expert systems, Man computer interface, Man machine systems, Armored vehicles, Human engineering, Human factors engineering. (sdw)
