THE PROPOSED PROJECT WILL DEVELOP A PLAN FOR IMPLEMENTING AND EVALUATING ADA AS THE SOFTWARE LANGUAGE ON MAJOR TRAINING SYSTEMS ACQUISITIONS WHICH INCORPORATE DISTRIBUTED MICROPROCESSORS AS THE SIMULATION SYSTEM. MANY IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES HAVE BEEN DEFINED FOR SINGLE MICROPROCESSOR REAL-TIME SYSTEMS PROGRAMMED IN ADA AND SOME SOLUTIONS ARE BEING DEVELOPED. HOWEVER SIMILAR DEFINITIONS AND SOLUTION ...

THE VERY POLITICALLY SENSITIVE NATURE OF NUCLEAR WARFARE WOULD PRESUPPOSE THAT THE ABILITY OF THE COMMANDER TO PLAN FOR THE USE OF WEAPONS OF THIS TYPE WOULD CREATE THE NEED FOR A METHOD WHICH WOULD BE AS FOOL-PROOF AS POSSIBLE. EARLY WEAPONS WERE DESIGNATED STRATEGIC WEAPONS WHILE LATER DEVELOPED WEAPONS WERE CALLED TACTICAL. IT WAS WITH THE EVOLUTION TO TACTICAL WEAPONS THAT EXTENSIVE POSITIVE C ...

THE TACTICAL AIR OPERATIONS CENTRAL - 1985 (TAOC-85) ENGINEERING DEVELOPMENT MODEL (EDM) SOFTWARE/FIRMWARE IS BASELINED TO 1979 - 1980 MILITARY DOCUMENTATION STANDARDS. INDEPENDENT VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION (IV&V) OF THIS COMPLEX PROGRAM PACKAGE IS REQUIRED. THE FIRST PHASE OF THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAM IS TO PREPARE AN INDEPENDENT VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION PLAN WHICH WILL ...

IMPULSIVE SOURCES (LANDSLIDES, EXPLOSIONS, AND SO FORTH) ARE CAPABLE PRODUCING EXTREMELY LARGE WAVES IN SUFFICIENTLY DEEP WATER. IF CONTAINED IN A STEEP-WALLED FORD-LIKE CHANNEL, SUCH WAVES CAN BE PROPAGATED WITH LITTLE LOSS OF ENERGY OVER SIGNIFICANT DISTANCES. THE MAJOR ENERGY DISSIPATOR IN THIS CASE MIGHT BE THE OCCURRENCE OF BREAKING IN THE NARROW SHALLOW ZONES ALONG EACH BANK; THIS LOSS MECHA ...
