This thesis demonstrates the use of the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence on the battlefield. The use of the theory is a decision aid or decision support system for the Intelligence Analyst will speed the force Commander's Command and Control cycle. The Command and Control cycle is modeled and a benefit of enhanced command and control is described. The Dempster-Shafer theory is discussed using tactical battlefield examples. A Dempster-Shafer decision aid is presented as well as methods for improving computational speed. A specific application area, situational development analysis in the All Source Analysis System (ASAS) is proposed.
