Mobilization and Defense Management Technical Reports Series. Acquisition of ADP (Automated Data Processing) by the Army during Mobilization.
Abstract
This study focuses on the Automated Data Processing (ADP) needs of the Army in the 1980's and the resources available to satisfy these needs. A new system called the Vertical Installation Automation Baseline (VIABLE) forms an important ADP resource that must be carefully examined to determine the Army's ADP shortfalls in a mobilization scenario. Analysis of VIABLE, as well as existing and important, new mobilization systems (such as the Continental Army Management Information System-CAMUS) attempt to assess the actual Army ADP requirements that must be satisfied. From this baseline, Army ADP Procurement is discussed in a mobilization setting when it will be necessary to rapidly acquire ACP resources. This includes a review of industry approaches to the timely acquisition of ADP. Lastly, a number of conclusions and recommendations on ADP preparedness for mobilization are included. (Author)
