Centralization of the U.S. Army Telecommunications Computer Programming Effort.
Abstract
The specific purpose of the report is to evaluate Army Telecommunications Automation Concepts and determine the feasibility of the Army's establishing a centralized facility or organization for control and management of communications computer software. Determining that centralization of automated telecommunications computer software effort is feasible resulted in several conclusions: (1) Considering technical and administrative factors and the trend toward increased utilization of computers for communications applications, there is a requirement in the U.S. Army for centralized control and management. (2) The Army Telecommunications Automation Program concept is feasible. (3) A long range cost reduction will result by adoption of the U.S. Army's proposals. (4) Standardization will result. (5) Better analysis and definition of hardware and software will result. (6) Centralization will provide the U.S. Army with a pool of professional personnel.
