13. ABSTRACT (Maximulm 200.words)

Mission accomplishment in PACAF and USAFE depends on base recovery capability in apostattack environment. Base recovery includes identifying, analyzing, and repairingfacility damage. For facilities critical to sortie generation, this process must beaccomplished expediently.

In a postattack environment, field information on facility damage is cQllected andanalyzed to determine structural integrity and usability. From this analysis, a repairschedule is developed. This is currently a time comsuming process that is shortenedby using a computerized system.

The scope of this effort was to develop a computerized postattack damage assess-ment system that recommends repair strategies, keeps inventory of materials andequipment, and schedules repairs based on manpower and equipment availability.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this report is to describe the software and hardware ofthe POST-DAM System, developed by Applied Research Associates, Inc., for airbasefacility postattack damage assessment. This report contains descriptions ofprototype software and hardware, and recommendations for full-scale developmentof both software and hardware.

B. BACKGROUND

In a postattack environment, field information on mission-critical facilitydamage is collected and analyzed to determine structural integrity and usability.From this analysis, a repair schedule is developed. This is a time-consumingprocess when done without the aid of a computerized system. Consequently, thePOST-DAM System was developed to determine repair strategies with an expertsystem, keep track of materials and equipment with a relational databasemanagement system, and schedule repairs based on manpower and equipmentavailability with a project management system.

C. SCOPE

This technical report consists of nine volumes. Volume I describessoftware and hardware used with the prototype POST-DAM System, and recommendssoftware and hardware for full-scale development. Volumes II through VIII aresoftware user's manuals, which describe how to install and use the prototypesoftware with the POST-DAM System. Volume IX is a field manual that containsdiagrams of structures that are used with the POST-DAM system to locate damagedelements.

D. EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

The prototype POST-DAN System was developed using commercial, off-the-shelf(COTS) software and hardware. The system was constructed by integrating thesoftware and hardware in such a way that a remote computer in the field cancommunicate with a host computer in the Base Civil Engineering (BCE) DamageControl Center (DCC). The POST-DAM system determines repair strategies, keepstrack of materials and equipment, and schedules repairs based on manpower andequipment availability. This prototype system has been evaluated in-depth, andsubsequent recommendations are made herein about software and hardware thatshould be used for full-scale development.

E. CONCLUSIONS

The prototype POST-DAM System is functional, but has limitations withrespect to both hardware and software. The following ptublems were encountered:

I. The prototype remote computer is not portable, and cannot be used inthe field. No satisfactory, hand-held remote terminal was available for thisproject.

iii

2. The expert system cannot hold all the information required for full-scale development, because it cannot use extended memory.

3. Both the relational database management system and project managementsystem require more human interaction than desired.

4. The communication system software is not compatible with theSurvivable Base Recovery After Attack Communication System (SBCS) being developedfor ESD by Sumaria Systems, Inc., with which the POST-DAM System is required tointerface.

F. RECOMMENDATIONS

For full-scale development, the following features should be incorporatedin the POST-DAM System.

1. Replace the prototype remote computer with a hand-held terminal unithaving at least 2 Mb of random access memory, and which can run applicationsrequiring 640 Kb of base memory.

2. Replace the prototype host computer with a system having at least4 Mb of random access memory, IEEE 802.3 LAN ports, and able to support multi-tasking operations.

3. Replace the CLIPS expert system shell with an expert system shellcapable of supporting applications at least twice as large as those developed forthe prototype system.

4. Set the host computer up to interface with the IEEE 802.3 Ethernetlocal area network (LAN) used by SBCS.

5. Construct a single computer program to replace the relationaldatabase management system and the project management system, to minimize therequired amount of human intervention. This system should be developed bypersonnel with a strong background in computer science.

INTRODUCTION

I1. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this software user's manual (SUM) is to explain theprocedures for using the Harvard Project Manager (HPM) project-management systemwith the POST-DAM Relational Data Base Management System (RDBMS), and TED 1.1Text Editor to schedule repairs based on equipment and manpower availability.HPM is a complete project management package for planning and tracking projectsof any complexity. However, only the project management tools and techniquesused with POST-DAM are discussed in this SUM.

1.2 BACKGROUND

HPM allows the user to schedule expedient repairs to mission-criticalfacilities in a postattack environment. HPM is a commercial project managementsystem distributed by Software Publishing Corporation. It is menu-driven, anddesigned for use on the IBM PC and compatible computers.

1.3 APPROACH

After a group of repairs is selected for a facility, the user activates HPMfrom POST-DAM RDBMS, using DESQview 386 as described in Section 3.4 ofDocument 2.2.3. The user then enters the facility number, r3quired repairs, andrequired equipment and manpower for each repair. For each repair, the userselects the time at which the repair will start, and HPM then determines therepair duration based on manpower and equipment requirements. For each structurethe repairs are scheduled consecutively to reduce repair team relocation time.However, repairs to different structures can be scheduled concurrently, providedthere are no over-allocations. If over-allocations exist, HPN will alert theuser, and repairs can be re-scheduled to eliminate the conflict. After repairsare scheduled for a facility, the user exits HPM using DESQview 386, and runsTED 1.1 to update the repair strategy file, as described in Document 2.2.6.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

3.1 INSTALLING FPM

3.1.1 System Configuration

HPM is designed to run with PC-DOS 2.0 or higher on the IBM PC, or a100 percent compatible microcomputer with 512 K random access memory (RAM), coloror monochrome monitor, hard disk, and 5.25-inch floppy disk drive. HPM is alsodesigned to interface with most commercial printers. Further information aboutHPM system requirements is given in Document 2.3.8.

To run HPM, the computer needs a DOS config.sys file, with a FILES commandaccommodating at least 20 open files. Before installing HPM, be sure thefollowing command is in the config.sys file:

FILES=N

where N is no smaller than 20.

3.1.2 Installing HPM Files

HPM files are copied directly from the five HPM program disKs into a singlesubdirectory in the hard disk root directory. Starting from the hard disk rootdirectory, use the DOS MAKE DIRECTORY command to create the subdirectory HPM bytyping

C:\,md\hpm [Enter]

where C is the hard disk root directory, highlighted characters are typed by theuser, and [Enter] means press the enter key after typing the command. Next,using the DOS CHANGE .DIRECTORY command, change to the subdirectory HPM by typing

C:\,cd\hpm (Enter]

Next, copy the files from the five HPM program disks by inserting one programdisk at a time into floppy disk drive A:, and typing

C:\hpmcopy a:*.* [Enter]

until all five disks have been copied into the HPM subdirectory.

3.2 STARTING THE HPM SYSTEM

HPM is executed from the DESQview 386 utility. This process is describedin Sertion 3.4 of Document 2.2.3. After starting HPM, the title screen appearsas shown in Figure 3.1, then the main menu appears as shown in Figure 3.2.

between the columns, the user changes Work Units to Hrs, planned work to 1.75(duration time is rounded off to the nearest quarter hour), and working hrs/dayto 24.0, as shown in Figures 3.33 and 3.34. The user then presses [Enter], andis returned to a new row in the resource column, as shown in Figure 3.35.Figure 3.36 shows the completed allocation form for the repair wbll. When aresource item quantity is greater than 1, the repair duration time must bemultiplied by the quantity to obtain the planned work value, has been doubled.

After all required equipment and labor resources have been entered in thewbll allocations list, the user presses [Esc], and is returned to the Fast TrackForm, as shown in Figure 3.37. The user then positions the cursor at the rightend of wb11, whereupon cs11 appears at the bottom left corner of the Fast TrackForm, as shown in Figure 3.37. The above procedure is then repeated for wbll.The allocations list for cs11 is shown in Figure 3.38, and the Fast Track repairschedule for Building I is shown in Figure 3.39.

3.3.3.2 Adding Multiple Facilities

To add a new facility to the Fast Track Form, the user uses the arrow keysto move the cursor to the empty row just below where the last facility was added.The user then follows the same procedure used for Building I in Section 3.3.3.1of this SUM. For example, the second facility, "Building 2,' is added to theFast Track Form, as shown in Figure 3.40, where wbI2 is a wall breach repair, and

cr12 is a column replacement. Because there is no resource conflict, repairs tothese two buildings can be done simultaneously, as shown on the Fast Track Formin Figure 3.40.

3.3.3.3 Resource Conflicts

The HPM system alerts the user if a resource conflict exists. As anexample, the third facility, "Building 3" has been added to the Fast Track Formshown in Figure 3.41, where fr13 is a floor repair, and csl3 is a column splintrepair. In Figure 3.41, HPM alerts the user of a resource conflict by writingthe word Resource at the bottom of the Fast Track Form. The user can determinethe exact nature of the resource conflict by viewing the allocations lists, asdescribed in Section 3.3.3.1 of this SUM. Figures 3.42 and 3.43 show theallocations lists for fr13 and cs13, respectively, and the R on the left handside of repair team indicates that the resource has been over allocated.

Resource conflicts are eliminated by delaying lower priority repairs. Toreschedule a repair, the user places the cursor in the Fast Track Form on therepair to be rescheduled then selects the [F4] key to display the 'Edit' Menushown in Figure 3.22. From the Edit Menu, the user selects Option 3 "Move Task,"which displays the "Moving Task" Window shown in Figure 3.44, with fr13 as therepair to be rescheduled. The user then reschedules the repair using the arrowkeys, and confirms the action by pressing the [FIO] key. Figure 3.45 shows the
