Review of the Fire Control System.

Abstract

This report documents a series of studies that GSG, Inc. has performed on the Fire Control System (FCS). The major purpose of our activity was to formulate a set of recommendations on how to best evolve the FCS in light of its present characteristics and the perceptions available of the forthcoming new applications or enhancements of old applications. The method followed in pursuing the above stated goal was to, first of all, become entirely familiar with the technical/design documentation of the FCS Computer System. We then proceeded to examine all available (to us) studies that characterized enhanced applications for the FCS and extrapolated information processing requirements. The latter we examined in a very critical way to determine the soundness of the basic assumptions leading to figures for throughput, and other information processing requirements. Having done that, and considering the characteristics of the architecture of the FCS, we determined the weak spots of the architecture, in light of the new applications, and recommended a series of moves that could improve it to the point of handling the projected workload.
