Corps Helicopter Attack Planning System (CHAPS). Positional Handbook. Appendix C. Database Specification

Abstract

This document was designed to provide the US Army CORPS helicopter planners with the basic information and data base formats for the US Army's CORPS Helicopter Attack Planning System (CHAPS). There are five manuals for CHAPS. CHAPS was developed by Systems Control Technology, Inc, Palo Alto, CA for the Joint Tactical Fusion Program Management Office (JTFPMO). CHAPS is a derivative of USAFE's Force Level Automated Planing System (FLAPS) and was extensively modified to incorporate US Army attack helicopters. This volume describes the CHAPS data bases which are managed internally by CHAPS and are unique to the CHAPS program. The data base files are stored as binary files on a hard disk media and are only accessible by the CHAPS software. The data base management software is a hone grown variety due to program operating speed requirements and permits the user to dynamically update the data while using CHAPS. The information stored are tables and arrays that have fixed record lengths, are binary in nature, and are direct access files.
