Users Manual for the Network Connectivity Analysis Model (NCAM)

Abstract

The OMNCS has been tasked by both Executive Order 12472 and National Security Decision Directive 97 to investigate the effects of Electromagnetic Pulses (EMP) on the nation's National Security Emergency Preparedness (NSEP) telecommunication assets. A two-tiered network level approach has been implemented to drive the EMP Mitigation program. The first tier addresses the effects of EMP on selected network equipment types. The second tier is a computer based simulation of network performance, which uses the results of the equipment test programs. This tier is conducted by the NCAM model. This approach is referred to as network level because the results of the NCAM simulation predict the performance of the entire network following EMP exposure, as opposed to a specific set of equipment. Keywords: Computerized simulation, Macro computing languages.
