Tactical Air Command Automated Standardization/Evaluation Management Program

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the feasibility of developing a microcomputer based system for use by unit level standardization/ evaluation officers. Unit chiefs of standardization/evaluation were interviewed, and a list of requirements identified. The program was modified then tested and validated at a Tactical Fighter unit. The program developed meets or exceeds the needs identified during the research process. The resulting software program is an easy to install, easy to use, data base management information system. The program requires virtually no computer expertise by the user, and entails almost no training. The system operates on a PC-compatible microcomputer which runs dBase III Plus, has one hard disk drive, one floppy disk drive, a monitor, and a printer. Although designed specifically for Tactical Air Command, other MAJCOMs could adopt the program with only minor or no modifications. Improvements in both man-hour requirements and accuracy could be expected through implementation of this program. Theses.
