Search and Rescue and Enforcement of Laws and Treaties Intelligence System
Abstract
In order to respond to the need for automated information support, the Search and Rescue and Enforcement of Laws and Treaties Intelligence System (SARELTIS) was designed and implemented. Coast Guard Group Monterey served as the test bed for determining information needs and systems analysis. The system is able to not only respond to real-time SAR and Law Enforcement cases, but is also robust enough to allow users to analyze the data collected to form their own local intelligence information base. The system's standard reports can provide limited decision-making support for Coast Guard resource allocation and scheduling. The physical design process for the SARELTIS prototype involved the conversion of the logical model into a language-specific database structure and an identification of the modules required to implement the required functions of the application. SARELTIS is an interactive, user-friendly, menu-driven system. A series of screens displaying various menus provide the user with a functional man-machine interface. The overall system design is based upon one relational database accessed by eleven functionally separate application modules. Application models are comprised of functionally distinct programs. These program functions are listed in Chapter IV, the User's Guide, with each module's function explained in detail in Appendix D.
