6. SUMMARY
The U.S. military is a good example of how expert systems can play an important role in a large and complex organization. It has properly resourced and manned itself sufficiently for expert system development. It has ensured that expert systems are properly integrated into the total solution to a problem, not treated as a solution in itself. Most importantly, the applications provide a return on investment throughout the organization. Because of this, the military has been, and will continue to be, a strong proponent for intelligent technologies.
