Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a general approach for developing design concepts for later generation Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (FATDS) or any remotely controlling military or industrial system. It will help FATDS program development managers to conceptualize the early design process for hybrid and later generation systems. The Concept Design Management Approach described in this report possesses a number of significant features: (1) It conceives of a FATDS as an information processing system with both human and machine components; (2) It incorporates a general cognitive model for guiding the analysis of commanding and monitoring activities; (3) It guards against the adoption of design concepts that fail to meet field requirements during the future target period or that are technologically outmoded by the time the system is fielded; (4) It identifies the judgments that need to be made to develop a FATDS design concept; (5) It identifies the personnel and group processes best suited for making each judgment; (6) It uses multi-attribute utility technology for assigning numeric values to judgments and for aggregating different kinds of judgments. It provides for weighting the various judgments to reflect management interests and concerns; and (7) It specifies trade-off matrices for selecting and improving system design and interface concepts.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was intended to have been part of a larger effort to identify the man-machine transactions that could cause difficulty in the acquisition and retention of skills required to operate Army Field Artillery Tactical Data Systems (AFATDS) and that are related to the software generated interface characteristics of the system and to develop ways of countering these difficulties. This project focused on developing a simulation capability (SIMCAP) in which these difficulties could be researched. The decision was made to use the existing TACFIRE Training System (TTS) to provide the simulation capability. A validation effort was undertaken to shake down and debug the equipment, facilities, and procedures that make up the TTS SIMCAP. The components of the TTS SIMCAP are assessed with regard to seven characteristics for an ideal SIMCAP: The general information processing functions required to coordinate artillery fires; Man's information processing capabilities; The characteristics of the information processing interface; Characteristics of combat situations; Meaningful operator performance measures; Modifiability of operator/commander consoles; and A readily programmable and expandable computer to operate the SIMCAP.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army lacks a single automated fire support system. The goal of Army's ongoing project of Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) is to integrate all of its fire power under a single automated system to provide an efficient fire support in the battlefield. AFATDS is being implemented using the language ADA for battalion and above level. The problem for this research is to implement AFATDS for battalion (just for technical fire direction) level and below. In addition, we want to add a Graphical User Interface (GUI), use modern software engineering principles and add multitasking. The approach taken was to apply object-oriented paradigm for the design and development of the battery level of AFATDS using Microsoft Windows' operating environment which provides (non-preemptive) multitasking and a GUI, and Borland C++ as the development tool. The results are as follows: The battery level software of AFATDS is implemented. The GUI provided a better interface which facilitates easier training Ref. 17. Multitasking allowed multiple firing missions to execute concurrently which was not possible with BCS. Object- oriented features of Borland C++ provided 60% improvement for GUI development than traditional programming languages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAO was requested to evaluate the progress of the Army's Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) program and the Army's plan for adopting components of the Marine Integrated Fire and Air Support System (MIFASS) for use in the AFATDS program. The Army has decided to modularly improve the existing Tactical Fire Direction System to provide for a future field artillery command and control system. Although this approach, in the opinion of GAO, is the proper choice in terms of operational suitability and timeliness, the Army needs to establish a sound basis to ensure that the most cost-effective system is being acquired to meet user needs. The Army's plans provide for ample equipment competition. However, software will be developed in-house. MIFASS was rejected as a follow-on system candidate, but a reconfigured MIFASS architecture or components may be usable in AFATDS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army's Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) is an integrated battlefield management and decision support system. The system is one of five battlefield automation systems of the Army Tactical Command and Control System. The AFATDS utilizes evolving commercial computer technology from the Army Tactical Command and Control System hardware and software procurement. The AFATDS Program has three versions of software, of which Version 1 is scheduled for a Milestone III, Production Approval, decision in December 1994 to approve entry into the production and deployment phase of the acquisition process. The overall audit objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of the milestone review process for Component-managed acquisition programs. The AFATDS was one program selected as part of the overall audit. We are reporting our finding and recommendations separately because management needs to take prompt corrective action. This audit assessed the adequacy of the information provided to DoD Component milestone decision authorities in support of major milestone and program reviews and evaluated internal controls related to the objective.
