Abstract
Information technology can be an effective force multiplier for the Air Combat Element (ACE) of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF). Through the use of Intranet-based decision support, internet technology can be leveraged to improve the decision support and information processes of the ACE. This thesis reviews the objectives of Intranet-based decision support and provides a methodology to follow for implementing Intranet-based decision support for the ACE. The methodology combines systems development life cycle (SDLC) practices, command and control theory, an organizational analysis of the ACE, and prototyping to achieve Intranet-based decision support. The results from a process analysis are evaluated to select suitable processes for migration to Intranet-based decision support. Prototype development involves coding approximately 100 software files in Cold Fusion. As part of the prototyping process, comments from fleet-based Marines are collected and incorporated in the prototype when possible. The methodology developed for this project could be used for other MAGTF related Intranet-based decision support systems.
