An Integrated Analytical System

The purpose of the Integrated Analytical System is to assist in the accomplishment of many functions which are now performed manually at the Air Force Eastern Test Range. This paper will describe the Range Operations Model (ROM) which is designed to assist the Range in test scheduling and the documentation of range support required by test programs. The design of the ROM has as its main objective the integration of the various interlocking and mutually supporting factors that constitute the range planning and operating system. A major key to the effective operation of this system is the use of the computer to assist in the accomplishment of many of these functions. The computer will enable range personnel to better carry out their specific functions by performing faster, more accurate and more complete analyses. This role of the computer will be achieved by properly integrating the total analytical system into the range environment, so that the computer becomes a part of the man machine system
