DEANE: A Computer Aid for Ballistic Missile Defense Analysis

Abstract

DEANE is a special-purpose computer language designed for use in a time-shared environment by a ballistic missile defense systems analyst. In essence, it is a sophisticated calculator whose modular design allows the user to request basic computations in a convenient fashion. The interpretation of the computational results is not made by DEANE under the pretense of being a simulator, but is left to the user. This report is a user's manual describing the computations available and giving examples of how they may be ordered to solve typical problems. Also presented is a description of the logical and/or mathematical foundations of the computations.
