- -- Abstract :
- ----------------: 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, ad hoc 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.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: Three packages (two generic) are provided from the MIMS at
- ----------------: this time, balanced trees, source scanner, and variable lists.
- ----------------:
- ----------------: This tool was developed as a precursor for
- ----------------: the WMCCS Information System (WIS). An
- ----------------: executable version of the tool has been
- ----------------: demonstrated. This source code has sub-
- ----------------: sequently been recompiled but has not under-
- ----------------: gone extensive testing.
