The objective of this program is to investigate and demonstrate technologies relevant to an envisioned Deployment Information and Simulation Environment. DISE concept software will be developed in order to demonstrate the technical feasibility of using state-of-the-art software technologies to rapidly plan and replan logistics requirements for contingency operations. DISE will have three components. The first component is a centrally located knowledge base (KB) that will store deployment information like site maps, site surveys, lessons learned, and related war reserve material information. The second component will assist planners in collecting deployment site information to populate the KB. The third component will use the information in the KB, along with other information, to analyze beddown requirements with respect to beddown site resources. (0083)
