Design and implementation for the decision support system applied in initiative logistics

Initiative logistics(IL) is a new logistical idea and support mode aiming at the rising information war. To achieve initiative logistics in wartime, military logistics department needs to predict the consumed material in battlefield and deal with the numerous data about the resources it has. Better tools for utilizing both quantitative and qualitative information are strongly needed. To help meet that need, we construct a decision support platform for the logistics department of division and brigade level. This platform combines with wargame technology based on the traditional decision support system, and makes it more accord with initiative logistical needs. The paper covers the overall approach to the design and implementation of this system; outlines its key features; and, briefly describes its current status and the plans for its further development.
