A knowledge-based architecture for implementing military geographical intelligence system on Intranet

Military geographical intelligence analysis in support of both tactical and strategic operation is a process that is associated with data gathering, processing, analyzing, and distribution. It is an important activity, carried out before the preparation of a military operation. A system that can assist in arranging support, exercise analysis training, and manage knowledge on military geographical intelligence have always been ultimate goals for both military intelligence units and intelligence officers alike. Therefore, it can be seen that research into the military geographical intelligence system is a critical and important research subject. This research investigates military geographical intelligence systems as a problem-solving procedure in terms of observing the military geographical intelligence operational procedure, generating situation analysis, and generating planning process. This paper intends to present a knowledge-based architecture that incorporates the function of case base, heuristic base, and rule base for implementing the military geographical intelligence system on Intranet.
