Abstract :
Most of the military operational analysis (OA) in Norway takes place at the NorwegianDefence Research Establishment (FFI). FFI was established in 1946 by initiativeof scientists that had participated in military research teams in the United Kingdom, during World War II. No Norwegians did, however, participate in operational analysisunits in the UK at that time. OA was therefore not carried out at FFI in its earliestdays, but a small OA unit—named the Systems Group—was established in the late50’s
