ABSTRACT (maximum 200 words) Intranets are rapidly becoming a corporate internal information-sharing medium. Intranet technology is the same robust, proven, industry standard technology that is used on the Internet. The technical aspects of implementing the technology are simple. The organization andmanagementaspects are significantand are key to its successful implementation. This internal use of Internettechnology iseasy, inexpensive, and has produced savingsandbenefits forcorporate organizations. This thesis reviews corporate and government intranets and examines the feasibility ofimplementing this technology and benefiting from it, in a military organization. Specific applicability of initranet technology was examined at Fleet Numerical Oceanographic and Meteorology Center, while maintaining the vision of its applicability to other military organizations. Fleet Numerical Oceanographic and Meteorology Center has the requisite technical and organizational infrastructure necessary to successfully implement intranet technology. The management and technical skill sets necessary to successfully implement this technology at any military command operating a computer network should be available, or easily trained. Fleet Numerical Oceanographic and Meteorology Center and the U.S. Military should establish the organizational plans and infrastructure to implement and exploitthis empowering information sharingmedium. 14.
