SKYNET Applications Software Package (SASP) Programmers' Handbook, Version 2.

Abstract

The assessment of satellite vulnerability to system generated electromagnetic pulses (SGEMP) and the development of a methodology for this assessment are the prime objectives of the Defense Nuclear Agency sponsored SKYNET program. An automated procedure for this has resulted in the assembling of the SGEMP Transportable Automated Recording System (STARS) data van. The STARS is controlled by a PDP 11/40 computer using the SASP as its software implementation. This report gives a detailed description of each program and subroutine used in the SASP, excluding descriptions of purchased graphic software (Tektronix Plot-10 package and Versaplot package). It is intended to provide the programmer with the information required to effectively utilize the system. (Author)
