ADP Strategy Team Report: A Future DTIC (Defense Technical Information Center) ADP System

Abstract

While the Defense RDT&E On-Line System (DROLS) was at the edge of the state-of-the-art in the 1960's and early 1970's, it is no longer. The ADP technology explosion has far outdistanced DTIC's ADP systems and if DTIC is to satisfactorily perform its DoD (USDR&E) Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) duties and responsibilities, a revised information delivery system must be developed. The purpose of this paper is to document DTIC's present situation; highlight future ADP technology trends in the information processing field; lay out general functional requirements depicting how DTIC should operate in the future; identify and contrast ADP system configurations based on future ADP technology and DTIC mission assumptions in terms of cost, performance, and other pertinent factors; and provide a plan depicting the steps which must be taken to accomplish the system upgrade. Keywords: Information storage; Information transfer; Defense planning.
