A knowledge-based computer system, with its foundation
in Artificial Intelligence, would be a valuable asset to the
military tactical ccmmander. Current systems are slow,
large, expensive, inflexible and therefore, impractical for
use in the tactical environment. A detailed design of a
prototype small-computer-based system is presented which
processes and interprets intelligence and tactical
information to assist tactical commanders in making
decisions. The system, TAC*, for "Tactical Adaptable
Consultant," incorporates a database, a knowledge base,
their associated management systems, and a distributed
interface. Emphasis is placed on the representation and
processing of two types of information: data about the real
world; and knowledge about what that data means.
