Employment and command and control for the Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile system
No full textThe author describes the employment and command and control of the Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) missile system. A history of the system portrays NLOS as a weapon system still in the early stages of development. A detailed description depicts NLOS as an application of fiber optic technology enabling the engagement of helicopters and ground targets beyond visual range. The plan to organize and employ NLOS in separate units (anti-air and anti-tank) at the maneuver brigade level is described. Command and control of the system is discussed in the context of its employment as a dual capable system at the maneuver brigade level and in the context of a definition of command and control. Early command and control testing for the NLOS system is discussed and some of the results of that testing provides the basis for the following conclusions: The employment of NLOS at the maneuver brigade level should work with the exception of NLOS-AT (anti-tank) units being used to engaage helicopters; the employment of NLOS-AD (air defense) in the air role is heavily contingent on the development and successful integration of masked target sensors into the Forward Area Air Defense Command, Control and Communications (FAADC2I) system; and the lack of weapon system hardware and proposed automated command and control systems for the NLOS system precludes a definitive evaluation of command and control at this timeCaptain, United States Armyhttp://archive.org/details/employmentndcomm109452816

The J-shell command language interpreter
No full textA command language interpreter (CLI) translates commands entered by the user into system actions. The shell is a specific type of CLI that was originally designed and used with UNIX operating systems.The author proposes to design and implement a shell-like CLI on top of the VMS operating system. The shell will enhance VMS features by providing an easier to use syntax and by providing features that are not currently available through VMS. These features include piping facilities and the ability to enter and/or reference multiple commands from a single command line. A language reference manual is provided with the J-shell. This manual explains the features and commands of the J-shell.Thesis (M.S.
Domain-independent programming by demonstration in existing applications
No full textThis paper describes Familiar, a domain- independent programming by demonstration system for automating iterative tasks in existing, unmodified applications on a popular commercial platform. Familiar is domain- independent in an immediate and practical sense: it requires no domain knowledge from the developer and works immediately with new applications as soon as they are installed. Based on the AppleScript language, the system demonstrates that commercial operating systems are mature enough to support practical, domain- independent programming by demonstration – but only just, for the work exposes many deficiencies
A light in the dark: using cabled seafloor observatories to study abundance and behaviour of seafloor megafauna in response to environmental change
No full textSurface primary productivity forms the base of most marine food webs and contributes
significantly to global carbon cycling, providing a key link from surface to seafloor. High
seasonal primary productivity along temperate latitude coastlines provides crucial nutrients for
seafloor communities, driving spatiotemporal patterns in abundance, behaviour, biodiversity, and
distribution of benthic megafauna. Many factors, including ocean warming, deoxygenation, and
increasing frequency and duration of marine heatwaves (MHW), may alter the dynamics
governing primary production, threatening benthic organisms that depend on the seasonal input
of phytodetritus for food. The focus of this thesis is to make use of two seafloor observatories,
NEPTUNE near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and a new platform in Conception Bay,
NL, to examine variability in abundance, behaviour, and composition of seafloor communities in
response to environmental change across temporal scales. First, the response of the deep-sea pink
urchin Strongylocentrotus fragilis to a recent MHW on the continental margin off the coast of
Vancouver Island was investigated using a combination of benthic trawls (2004-2018) and
seafloor observatory data (2013-2020). Sea urchin density declined during the MHW, likely in
response to reduced kelp subsidies from coastal waters. Next, the new Holyrood Underwater
Observatory in Conception Bay was used to study benthic community response to the spring
phytoplankton bloom. High-frequency variability in seafloor environmental dynamics was
documented during the winter-spring transition, and the unexpected emergence of >200 sea
cucumbers (Psolus sp.) coinciding with the arrival of phytodetritus at the seafloor was observed.
These data will provide a baseline against which to monitor changes in phenology as climate
change progresses. This work comes at a critical point in ocean observing as we approach global
climate tipping points. Now more than ever, it is essential to document the current state of
marine communities to understand and predict community responses to changing ocean
conditions, and to sustainably manage ocean resources.Includes bibliographical reference
Delivery systems for maintenance training for the United States Army for the 21st century
No full textPlan BThe thesis paper on Delivery Systems for Training for the U.S. Army looked at various areas of delivery systems from the characteristics of the traditional classroom, web-based training, self-paced delivery methods, computer-based instruction (CBI), and video conferencing, which is often called Distance Education. It addressed the future use of delivery systems in Army Training. The Army has standards of training set by the Ordnance Center and School for Maintenance Training. The Army is in the process of updating the new training methods of maintenance training that will be implemented within the next year in the U.S. Army. The new Army Training System (TATS) courseware will enable all Maintenance Training Facilities to prepare our students and soldiers for the 21st century for maintaining the U.S. Army’s equipment. The Army School System (TASS) is a composite school system comprised of the Active Component (AC), Army Reserve National Guard (ARNG) and United States Army Reserve (USAR) institutional training systems. TASS, through the Army’s training proponents, provides standard training courses to America’s Army, focusing on three main points of effort—standards, efficiencies, and resources. The Army Training System (TATS) courseware is designed to train the same Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), Area Of Concentration (AOC), skill level or Additional Skill Identifier (ASI), Language Identifier Code (LIC), Skill Qualification Identifier (SQI), and Skill Identifier (SI) within the Army. The course ensures standardization by training all critical tasks to task performance standard. It may be trained at different sites and may involve use of different media/methods to train the various phases/modules/lessons. The courseware is a requirements document that provides a general description of The Army Training System course content, duration of instruction, and methods of instruction and media. It also lists critical tasks taught and resources required to conduct peacetime and mobilization training (United States Army Training and Doctrine Command, 26 May 2000)
