An expert system advisor for missile logistics (LOGADVISOR)

The effectiveness of an expert system for alleviating work loads of air defense command-post personnel in stressed tactical and near-tactical situations, is demonstrates. When the expert system can make routine decisions, summarize information, and give options for making complex decisions, it allows air defense personnel to deal with immediate threat issues without ignoring the more routine issues such as supply. This type of expert system can prevent critical shortages from occurring by predicting these shortages and giving options for dealing with the problem while there is still time to react. >
