Specifying users' Requirements in the Context of Military Intelligence Related Computer Systems.

Abstract

Computer systems have become an important part of military intelligence operations and analysis. Headquarters Strategic Air Command (HQSAC) is currently involved in a project designated IDHS-80 (Intelligence Data Handing System) to acquire a new computer system to replace systems now in use. A three-part problem the IDHS-80 project faces is developing what the user of the IDHS-80 system will require it to do, clearly defining these requirements, and combining the various users' requirements into a single IDHS-80 requirements set. This thesis is an effort to find an optimal technique for solving this problem. Software engineering literature was surveyed and nineteen potential techniques were identified. Eleven criteria for an optimal technique were developed out of software engineering literature, Air Force regulations, and interviews with thirteen personnel at HQSAC who were involved with the intelligence computer systems there.
