NTC (National Training Center) Tactical Database Preliminary Design. Revision

Abstract

This research note documents the finalized design of the revised National Training Center Tactical Database. In its preliminary form, this document was distributed to potential users of the Database in order to solicit their comments, and factor their input into the total design. All recommendations were reviewed, and relevant additions were made prior to the detailed design phase. In its present form, the note represents the Tactical Database as developed. It includes some background, i.e. the rationale for the two-layered database approach, the naming convention adopted for tactical databases, and the explicit format for each of the nineteen tables that the final Tactical Database contains. It may be used as a planning document for NTC research and analysis efforts, including the design of derivative technical (issue-oriented) databases. Keywords: ITACS(Indirect Fire Casualty Assessment); Fire event.
