Summary:The last several decades have seen an unprecedented increase in the types and amount of information pertaining to the military environment. For the military commander and his staff, separating the important information from the routine has become a primary challenge in calculating the Value of Information (VOI). Wrought with uncertainty and contradiction, new methodologies are required to confront this significant issue. This paper presents an approach for calculating the VOI in complex military environments using fuzzy logic as a method for managing uncertain and imprecise information.
