System Analysis of a Field Army Topographic Support System.

Abstract

In 1978, Decilog completed a Computer Simulation Model of the Topographic Support System (TSS) under Contract for the Engineer Topographic Laboratories (ETL). As a result of exercising that Model, it was possible to conclude that the TSS, as configured by an interagency Integrated Equipment Evaluation Team, was capable of producing the required Products and Services in a manner of which was then considered timely. With the passage of time, however, there were changes in the TSS design and environment. The 1978 model was restricted to a particular scenario. One major objective of this effort was to Revise the Simulation Model to simplify input and add additional features to enhance flexibility. ETLSIM has already been used to support two management decisions. The first was a problem concerning the effect of the introduction of the Quick Response Multicolor Printer (QRMP), and the second was a problem concerning design specifications for the QRMP itself. The use of ETLSIM in both cases provided the appropriate quantitative data necessary to rapidly resolve these conflicts.
