Technical Support Task Report for the Modernization of Defense Logistics Standard Systems. Volume 1. Prototype Test Report

Abstract

This technical report, in three volumes, is the final report covering more than 2 years of technical activity supporting the Modernization of Defense Logistics Standard Systems (MODELS) project. The supporting activities included developing translation tables and the table-driven software for converting current fixed-length logistics data formats into new variable-length transaction equivalents. They also included designing and testing prototype hardware and software platforms that support transaction interchange between logistics sites. This volume, Prototype Test Report, is Volume I of the series. It is an Overview describing the task's purpose, results, conclusions, and recommendations from the viewpoint of four major support activities: (1) prototype logistics gateway node (LGN) construction and testing, (2) Interconnection and control of telecommunicating LGNs, (3) Electronic data interchange transaction translation and testing, (4) Network performance simulation and cost modeling.
