Mission Planning System (MPS)/Intelligence Computer System (ICS) System Set (MISS). MPS Follow-On Hardware Report (Preliminary)
Abstract
This document was the result of three months investigation to determine hardware and software capabilities that would be required to support a USAFE follow-on automated mission planning system (MPS). The report defines the processing requirements for: main memory; mass storage capabilities; external peripherals; and security and reliability considerations. This report was developed by Geodynamics Corporation and Systems Control Technology, Inc for HQ USAFE Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Intelligence. Hardware requirements were based primarily upon an empirical sizing analysis of the MPS Follow-On System Functions; databases, input, and outputs as they were currently implemented in two existing mission planning systems: the USAFE Force Level Automated Planning System (FLAPS) and the Tactical Air Forces (TAF) Mission Support System (MSS). The capabilities of these two systems were extrapolated to meet the performance requirements demanded upon the MPS Follow-On system. The study also determined the estimated minimum and maximum hardware processing capabilities to include data transfer speeds that would be required to meet USAFE's mission planning stated needs.
