- --= ABSTRACT ===============================================--
- -- 1. TOOL NAME : Mobile Information Management Systems (MIMS)
- -- 2. TOOL NUMBER : 23-1
- --
- -- 3. CONTRACTOR : Strategic Air Command
- -- 3a CONTRACT # : N/A
- -- 3b NAME : HQ SAC/SICA
- -- 3c LOCATION : Offutt AFB, NE
- -- 3d POC : Lt Col Pat Jones (A/V 271-3412)
- --
- -- 4. TOOL DESCRIPTION : As a demonstration of the use of Ada for
- -- command and control applications, the current airborne and ground
- -- mobile systems at SAC (600,000 LOC - JOVIAL) are being consolidated
- -- into a mobile data management system using a common data format
- -- and query language with graphical display capabilities.
- -- The system includes an integrated data management system, automatic and
- -- manual update of the data, data retrieval, building and maintaining
- -- displays as well as interaction with the working file, display transfers,
- -- and manual backup. It uses a multiple task environment to interface with
- -- several I/O devices, enter data into and retrieve data from similar
- -- systems across the communication links, and provide timely access to
- -- about 500 million characters of data.

- -- 5. SCHEDULE : Operational testing Jan 85
- -- 5a PDR/CDR :
- -- 5b DELIVERY :
- -- 5c DISTRIBUTION : SAC, SIMTEL20
- --
- -- 6. CHARACTERISTICS :
- -- 6a DEVELOPMENT APPROACH : Work began on the Wicat computer then moved
- -- to the Rolm computer. The project includes training of the 5 member (all
- -- Air Force) programming team and assessment of the two Ada development
- -- environments.
- -- 6b HOST MACHINE : Rolm Ada MSE 800
- -- 6c OPERATING SYSTEM : AOS
- -- 6d COMPILER : Rolm/DG
- -- 6e DEPENDENCIES : Needs at least 10M characters for storage, 24
- -- bit address bus, and task switching no slower
- -- than 1 millisec for 1000 tasks.
- -- 6f NUMBER OF STATEMENTS :
- --
- -- 7. DOCUMENTATION : Internal only.
- -- 8. PORTABILITY : Executable on any Ada target system meeting
- -- dependencies
- --
- -- 9. WIS USE :
- -- 9a FOUNDATION AREA : Data Base
- -- 9b WIS USE AREA : Joint Applications, DBMS Support
- -- 10. COMMENTS: The five member team trained by converting a FORTRAN
- -- satellite location approximation program (5300 LOC) to Ada (2000 LOC)
- -- using the Wicat with the (then) unvalidated Telesoft Ada compiler.
- -- This system has since been moved to the Rolm computer with minimal
- -- effort.
- -- 11. LAST CHANGE TO DATA : 21 March 1986.
