Resources Automated Management System

Abstract

The Resources Automated Management System (RAMS) was developed for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWC AD) to support the informational needs of resource managers and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) specialists. RAMS is a set of automated tools that has at its core a geographical information system (GIS). The GIS software provides the capability for geographically linking different types of data to a particular feature or map location. The development of RAMS began in October 1992 with the objective of managing the resources data for all NAWC AD sites and mission activities. RAMS currently maintains over 50 data layers for the Patuxent River Naval Air Station in Maryland, the Chesapeake Bay region, and the Special Use Airspace where NAWC AD activities conduct their missions on the East Coast. RAMS currently supports users with responsibility for environmental protection, natural and cultural resources preservation, security, emergency response, disaster preparedness, range and aviation safety, and facilities management.
