An Emissions Control Decision Aid. Volume I.

Abstract

The EWAR decision aid assists a Task Force Commander in designing and evaluating an EMCON plan. It provides displays for data retrieval, for the analysis of surveillance effectiveness, for the evaluation of information given away, and for the trade-off of surveillance effectiveness with information given away. The report discusses the rational for the EWAR decision aid and explains the context in which the aid is likely to be most useful. Another section describes how the aid might be used to evaluate an EMCON plan and provides examples of many displays currently operational. The report includes three annexes. The first, included in Volume I, describes all available commands. The other two annexes, included in Volume II, outline the program subroutines. The report describes the aid as it was implemented in April 1978. Although no significant changes in fundamental software design are anticipated, the final version of the aid is expected to contain several user-oriented features somewhat different from those discussed here.
