Technical Assessment of the Reserve Component Automation System (RCAS) and the Joint Computer Aided Acquisition and Logistics System (JCALS). Version 1.0.

Abstract

RCAS and JCALS are large DOD initiatives that will provide automated information system and communications capabilities for their respective communities. This report documents the results of a technical assessment of the suitability of using the RCAS and JCALS systems architectures and user interface methodologies as a standard in other DOD functional areas. The report concludes that there are significant features provided by the two programs that may be applicable to other DOD functional areas. The open systems standards-based system architectures of the two programs can serve as models for future systems architectures.
