A distributed, knowledge-based system which integrates terrain, weather, threat and military organization/doctrinal information for real-time decision support in a tactical battlefield environment is described. The system consists of data fusion, terrain and weather analysis modules, together with a rule-based system for inferring trafficability and cross-country mobility. Within the data fusion module, multi-spectral, black-and-white and weather satellite imagery, digital terrain elevation and collateral data are registered to a common reference base. The terrain and weather analysis modules then generate a physical description of current terrain and weather conditions from the fused source imagery. Using this data, trafficability and cross-country mobility can be inferred for selected classes of wheeled vehicles.
