Satellite Data Management User Terminal Investigation. Volume 1: Executive Summary.

Abstract

This study surveys, analyzes and defines the critical issues associated with future Satellite Data Management Terminals, looking into the time period to 1990-2000. It takes its principal perspective as that of directly supporting the individual operational or tactical commander in his performance of missions for which satellite data of any sort will be used. The study assumes a broad, explicit mission set and addresses several related questions: What is the nature of the operational/tactical commander who will use the terminal. What are the information handling requirements that result. Inquiry into the state of the art and forecasts of advanced technologies applicable to the terminal lead to conclusions regarding possible terminal configurations. An initial conceptual definition of possible advanced terminal simulation, including characterization of the commander, is included. Indirect measurement parameters for assessing the terminal contribution to command mission decision performance are suggested. (Author)
