Advance Identification of Catastrophic Traffic Build-Up in the Naval Telecommunication Command.
Abstract
The Naval Telecommunication Command (NAVTELCOM) carries out for the Chief of Naval Operations, The Dept. of Navy's responsibilities for defense telecommunications. A fundamental problem with the FLeet Broadcast occurs because the new Automated Broadcast Stations can receive and process message faster than the ships of the fleet can receive them. Message backlogs result and corrective measures must be taken. The thrust of this project was an analysis of the various measures to prevent and deal with backlogs occuring in these stations. It focused on the Navy's Automated Communications Station at Norfolk, which is the model for four other systems around the world. Their operation of the Fleet Broadcast was studied and modeled. To evaluate the impact of the proposed changes and other possible changes a computer program for simulating the operation of the Fleet Broadcast was prepared for use on the Naval Academy's Computer System and it is discussed in Appendix B., and listing of the program is included. The report suggests several early implementable changes in the way the broadcast is managed - to improve its operation. (Author)
