The past is represented by paper maps, acetate overlays and staff weather officers. The Army of the future will be using digital terrain data, geographic information systems, automated meteorological data collection and dissemination, and artificial intelligence software to help tie it all together. A major user of terrain and environmental data will be the Integrated Command and Control (IC2) systems currently under development. Research efforts on applying Artificial Intelligence to terrain reasoning and atmospheric effects are distributed between the Army, academia and industry. Because of the dispersed efforts, it is difficult, sometimes, for researchers to be aware of some of the relevant research being done elsewhere. These considerations led to bringing together researchers in environmental effects, terrain reasoning, geographic information systems, and the TRADOC schools that have responsibility for establishing doctrine on how the Army will use weapon systems in the field. Under the auspices of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research, Development and Acquisition, the U.S. Army Symposium/Workshop on Artificial Intelligence Research for Exploitation of the Battlefield Environment was held on November 15-16, 1988, in El Paso, Texas.
