This paper reports on a computer based intelligent decision aid system called Battle, developed for the United States Marine Corps. Its objective is to improve the Marine Integrated Fire and Air Support System (MIFASS) by providing recommendations for the allocation of a set of weapons to a set of targets. The key to the MIFASS concept is the forward observer (FO) equipped with a digital communications terminal (DCT) with burst communication to provide for the establishment of fire and air support centers to plan, integrate, direct, and coordinate the fires of supporting arms. The information provided by the FO can be used by Battle for its allocation task.
