System Performance Assessment and Control Concept.

Abstract

The SYPAC report is the result of nine years of research on system performance assessment and control, buttressed by field measurements, operational evaluations, and special studies. The resultant output is a System Performance Assessment and Control (SYPAC) concept suitable for implementation in the Defense Communications System (DCS). Specific examples of the problems faced in a wide flung communication systems such as the DCS are given along with some of the procedures to identify, isolate, and quantize the difficulty. The use of Automated Tech Control (ATEC) hardware is demonstrated to portray the capability offered by an automated sensing assembly and selected printouts are provided to clarify these examples. The rationale is given for the approach selected and the impact is presented on the operational, organizational, analysis, software, hardware, and order-wire activities of the Air Force and DOD. The SYPAC report (and this Executive Summary) is written in nonscientific terms so that high level managers as well as working level programmers and staff agencies can quickly grasp the approach and intent.
