C3I Rapid Prototype Investigation.

Abstract

Rapid prototyping of C3I systems has high payoff for the Air Force. It can aid in identification and stabilization of requirements, thereby reducing the risk in developing these systems. Rapid prototyping provides a general tool and way to mock-up the functionality of software intensive systems. The resulting prototype can be exercised before system development to provide a tangible basis and media for presentation of system requirements and design. Rapid prototyping at this time is best achieved through the use of models of the proposed system's human-computer interface, system performance, data-base structure, and system logical structure. A system to aid rapid prototyping has been defined. Required attributes of the system are that it be accessible and usable by at least three classes of user: mission user, system acquisition manager, and software specialists. (Author)
