Abstract:

This report describes an operational concept for automated IPB operations, and summarizes an approach to representing terrain data on a CRT in terms of its impact on ground force mobility. It includes a similar approach to ground intervisibility, and a means of incorporating current weather information to provide effects on both mobility and intervisibility. A major emphasis is on describing automated IPB products and explaining how they could be 1 constructed in the field during normal planning cycles, and 2 used during hostilities to support intelligence functions, operation functions, and the commanders decision process.
