A Systems Analysis of the Naval Environmental Data Network (NEDN).
Abstract
The thesis is a study of the Naval Environmental Data Network (NEDN). The objective of the thesis is to conduct a system analysis of the NEDN to establish a basis for designing or redesigning a better, more cost effective network. Emphasis is placed on communication costs. The study is in two parts. The first part describes the existing system, the Naval Intelligence Data Network ((NIDN) which affects the NEDN, the proposed NEDN/NIDN communication terminal, and other networks which are used for comparative purposes. The second part analyzes the NEDN to establish ways to improve the system. The overall conclusion is that cost effective improvements can be made, in particular, reduction of line communication costs. Specific recommendations for improvements are offered.
