The purpose of this document is to provide the necessary
planning and direction for ODP support of the Telemetry Analysis
and Display System (TADS). Specific long range planning issue
relevant to TADS will be raised. Information and alternatives
related to each issue will be presented. Then a recommendation
for the resolution of the issue will be offered.
Our objective is to match TADS' requirements with the
proper resources. This can be achieved with effective planningj
for TADS-growth. The planning for TADS growth is predicated on
resource information immediately available combined with an
anticipated growth rate.

SCOPE
This document describes the Telemetry Analysis and Displtrl
System (TADS) configuration as it will initially exist and expands
incrementally to accommodate the requirements established by 1:le
user, the Office of Weapons Intelligence (OWI). In addition, Lt
will define a system configuration which should satisfy all i wn
OWI TADS requirements. The period herein extends from system
acceptance to the end of the five year system's life (March L918
to March 1983).

1.0 SYSTEM DEFINITION
The Telemetry Analysis and Display System (TADS) will be
computerized capability to support the analysis of telemetry a-td
other time series data. TADS will be an interactive environity-=it
to consolidate analysis presently done manually and on generri.i
purpose batch computers. TADS will be the integration of Go'.r+al:n?--
ment Furnished hardware and software with hardware and softw,r-
supplied by the TADS Contractor, and commercially availab e
hardware- (See Appendix A). The ini tial TADS hardware confiq-
uration will be a host computer (IBM 360/67) and its periphe:._a;_
equipment, a Graphics Interface Controller (GIC) that will p-aide
the interface between the host computer and two Graphic Stations.
,A Graphic Station is made up of a Graphics Station Controller
(GSC); a Graphics Display Terminal (GDT), an Alphanumeric Display
Terminal (Delta Data 5260 with lightpen), an Electrostatic
Printer/Plotter (ESP), one data tablet and a Remote Job Entry
(RJE) link to the ASP System will also be provided.
TADS will support aerospace mission and program evaluations
by the engineering analyst. Also, TADS will support computational
facilities for mathematical manipulation of data files. These
facilities generate transformed data files that are added to tie
data base and measured data values which can be displayed and/or
entered into result files.
Hardcopy displays will be generated to document-analysis and
for inclusion in published reports. TADS will support the
continued development of new computational programs for data
editing and engineering analysis. The new programs will include
interactive graphics programs which use the TADS:-access facilities
for the data base, alphanumeric terminals, the graphic display,
and computational functions.

1.1 GRAPHICS INTE ACE CONTROLLER (CIC).
Functional Descri t? ion
The GIC is a PDP 11/34 which is intended to provide a
controlled, two-way, high-speed path for data communications
between an IBM 360/67 and up to 8 Graphics Stations. The Grzplsics
Stations each consist of a display unit and a controller (mini*
computer). The GIC is to include all the hardware to connect he
360/67 channel to the mini-computer. The GIC shall support a
minimum net data rate of 100,000 bytes per second for each o'j: he
Graphics Stations. The GIC shall be capable of driving the
dedicated cabling necessary to locate the Graphics Stations up to
2,000 feet away from the host computer (IBM 360).
1.2 GRAPHICS DISPLAY STATION
Functional Description
Each TADS Graphic Display Station consists of a DEC PDP
11/34 programmable Graphics Station Controller (GSC), a Vector
General 3401 Graphics Terminal, a GFF. 5260 Delta Data Alpha-
numeric Terminal, user entry devices, and console (work table3)..
The GSC and Graphics Terminal are modular in design and provid~-
for future expansion by means of field installation of additional
memory, logic ROMS, or upgraded software.

 2.2 yftMft 4~r 2001/09/04: CIA-RDP83T00573R 0200020001-0
Under the existing TADS contract, the initial TADS harcK4,tre
configuration can be expanded incrementally in the following
manner:
a) Four (4) additional Graphics Stations to be
added one year after the initial TADS system
acceptance by the Government.
b) One (additional Electrostatic Printer/Plotter
to be added one and one half years after the
initial TADS system acceptance by the Government.
c) Two (2) additional Graphics Stations to be
added two (2) years after the initial TADS
system acceptance by the Government.
. This procurement schedule was included as an option in
the TADS Contract. Its purpose was to obtain basic pricing
data to determine a maximum system cost. The ODP FY77 TADS
budget and OWI's requirements suggest that this option should
be implemented and accelerated (See Section 8, Budget Analysi.3).
Figure 2 illustrates the TADS configuration after the
Hardware Options have been purchased.

has %3d on
the purchase of the additional TADS equipment and the price paid
if the Government were to purchase the equipment from the indi-
vidual vendors. The labor cost for equipment installation,
system integration, and operational certification has been
included in the contractors price. The funds available for TADS
hardware purchases are entered as the last entry of the chart.
The Contractor's price, $686,939.00, was calculated using the
Government Index value as of 1 January 1977. The price may be
slightly higher by August 1977, but we feel that the increase in
price will not exceed 4% of the stated price.

2.3 RECOMMENDATIONS
o TOTAL PURCHASE OF TADS OPTJONAL HARDWARE
The TADS FY-77 budget is sufficient to purchase
all of the hardware options at one time and have funds
remaining for additional hardware purchases if desired. 4)WI
has a requirement for the additional six Graphic Stations
and two additional plotters. Our recommendation is to ,xp -_Ly
the FY-77 funds to all of the additional hardware to be
installed in the second and thi_:d quarters of calendar Y Ir
1978.
The Government has two choices with respect to the
procurement of additional hardware for TADS. One is to
purchase the hardware directly rrom the vendors and the
other is to purchase the hardware through the TADS Contractor.
The advantage of procuring the hardware directly is obvious -
a potential savings of over $200,000. However, the feasi-
bility of this approach is in question. Below are listad
several factors which we feel support the recommendation not
to GFE the additional hardware but to procure the options
through the TADS Contractor:
1. ODP has until 30 September to obligate its
FY77 TADS Funds. Initiating procurements with four
vendors and the TADS Contractor (installation support)
in addition to managing the TADS development would to
difficult.
2. If the hardware is GFed, SPS/ODP would effectitialy
become a system integrator. ODP would:have to allocate
resources for such things as hardware installation,
hardware/software integration, factory acceptance tests
at vendor's facilities, and onsite hardware acceptance
from several vendors.
3_ The additional ODP manpower required to manage the
efforts discussed above are estimated to be at least
one manyear.
4. The Contractor Price ($686.939) can most likely be
negotiated downward for at least two reasons. Purchasing
all the additional hardware at one time will provide
some quantity discounts which could be passed on to the
Government. Also, a more optimal use of procureatu rt
and installation manpower would be achieved by a
quantity pruchase.

0 HARDWARE PURCHASE IN ADDITION TO THE EIGHT GRAPHIC
STATION CONFIGURATION
OSO/SAD has requested that one of the eight Graphic
Stations be located in the GD76 area within Headquarters.
This request has been agreed to by OWI and SPS/ODP. The
responsibility for preparing the GD76 area for the Graphic:
Station rests with OSO/SAD. This area should be ready by
the Spring of 1978. Further, OSO/SAD requested that an
additional Electrostatic Printec_-/Plotter be purchased for
their Graphics Station installa'ion. OSO/SAD's justifi-
cation for this request made it clear that a printer/plotLLer
is essential to their use of a Graphics Station. The bud let
is adequate to supply the additional (third) electrostati:,
printer/plotter. We recommend its purchase be included with
the purchase of the six (6) Graphic Stations. This is a
change to the existing contract of approximately $19,000.30.
OWI requests that six (6) additional Alphanumeric
stations be purchased with the six Graphics Stations. This
is in effect 12 additional lightpen Delta Data's. The
budget is adequate for both additional purchase requests
(printer/plotter and six alphanumeric stations). The
remaining funds after this additional purchase would be
approximately $101,000.00. A portion of this excess will be
applied toward planned software scope changes such as
interfacing TADS with TMS.

3.0 OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT ESTABLISHED
3.1 RELOCATE IBM 360/67 PERIPHERALS
Once TADS becomes an operational system, the TADS envi-
ronment will become more production/development oriented as
opposed to the present implementation environment. A tape
library will be needed to support TADS. Either this must exist
in 1D16 or several 360/67 peripherals must be relocated to GCO3.
o RECOMMENDATION
The IBM 360/67 peripherals used by the contractor's imple-
mentation team in 1D16 will no longer be needed there. The
requirement for TADS access to the 11)16 area will diminish also
after system acceptance. The following 360/67 peripherals are
recommended to be relocated from 1D16 to GCO by the second
quarter of calendar year 1978.

Better operator response will bl~ achieved by locating the
above mentioned equipment in GC03. In'addition, it will be
easier to support non-prime time TADS use.
3.2 Replace Memorex with COMTEN

Although all divisions within 0141 may not explicitly be
mentioned as being TADS users, they will not be prohibited frcm
doing so occasionally. For example, systems analysts within ISD,
DSO, or OSSD will find it convenient to accumulate and analyz?
collectively the results of engineering analysis via a TADS
alphanumeric terminal- This requirement for multisystem access
provides the motivation for the following recommendation.
o RECOMMENDATION
The Memorex interface to TADS should be replaced with z:
COMTEN interface permitting maximum usage of the TADS proce.ssur
in 1D16 and Delta Data's in OWI space. The COMTEN installata_(,n
should be completed in conjunction. with the installation of
additional Graphic and Alphanumeric stations-

3.3 TADS TMS INTERFACE
Once the TADS tape units are in GC03, it makes sense to
provide a TADS TMS interface to the tape library in GC03. Thi
would simplify the TADS tape handlinj problems and provide a more
timely response for tape handling related activities (i.e.,
volume fetching, label checking, volume mounting and dismoun iag).
0 Recommendation
On receipt of interface specifications from SPD/ODP, a contract
change should be initiated to provide for a TMS interface.

With the anticipated increase in the number of TADS user; by
late 1978, attention should be directed toward an upgrade in the
TADS online storage capacity by that time.
At a maximum configuration, there could be as many as 24
virtuals active at one time. 18 of these 24 virtuals will mos:.
likely have 1 megabyte of memory.
Although this is not a firm req~nirement, we feel that data
collected during the initial operating period will support ti.3
following recommendation.
o RECOMMENDATION
The addition of a drum and Calcomp 1015 should be considered
before the summer of 1978 to allow for sufficient lead time for
the equipment installation. The anticipated installation time
would be during the first quarter of FY-78 (just after additional
stations are operational).

The twenty (20) Delta Data Terminals presently within 014.1
represent 800 hours per week available for Delta Data access f~)r
the whole user population of OWI. The current utilization 1c3v-_'l
is approximately 75% which represents 600 of the available 800
hours. Based on the assumption that a TADS analyst will req~ui~e
no more than two hours daily of alphanumeric station time, 75O
hours per week are needed to support just a TADS user population
of 75.
Gra-nted, the final TADS configuration will increase the
total number of Delta Data Terminals in OWI from 20 to 28, but
only eight (8) are Alphanumeric Stations equipped with the light
pen attachment.
O RECOMMENDATION
This information prompts the recommendation that the twenty
(20) other Delta Data Terminals be replaced over a two year
period with the light pen Delta Data's. The upgrading process
should begin after the TADS system is operational and the usefulness
of the light pen Delta Data has been determined.

There are many advantages gained from the migration of FAuS
from the IBM 360/67 to IBM 370. The modular and system indepeident
nature of TADS simplifies the effort considerably. The additional
floor space gained by the removal of the IBM 360/67 is signifi:ant
as compared to the space requirements of an IBM 370. Phasing mut
CP-CMS would unify and simplify the operating system and hardwire
maintenance requirements. The computer hours available for TADS
could possibly be available to other users during the second and
third shifts. Also, the possibility exists of either migrating
all of GWI and OSO/SAD VM users to the TADS r:iachine or including
TADS in the general VM machine.
o RECOMMENDATION
The TADS should be implemented on a VM system no sooner titan
the second quarter of calendar year 1978 (post initial system
acceptance). From a TADS point of view, the ideal time to convert
to a VM system would be just after the installation of the
additional Graphic and Alphanumeric Stations. This of course
would alter the online storage recommendations made in Section
3.4. In any event we feel that the conversion should be planned
for no later than FY 1979.

5.0 TADS TRAINING
The TADS users are expected to be familiar with the CP-
67/CMS operating environment prior to training for TADS. Training
of TADS users will be conducted on a schedule consistent with he
System Acceptance Test. Training courses will consist of claas~ sroom
lectures, concurrent with laboratory training in a "hands-on"
mode. Lecture material will progress from basic hardware utilization
through the special applications associated to support lecture
material_ Specialized training requirements of the TADS disci;.)lines
will consist of specific course material directed toward the
unique aspects of each discipline for TADS analysts, TADS programmers
and TADS operators.
t
The following guidelines apply with regard to training:
a. Two training sessions of one week each will
be conducted.
b. No more than thirty (30) students may be enrolled
for TADS training.
c. The training sessions may be recorded on video
tape aid used for future TADS training.
o RECOMMENDATION
OWI has allowed for six (6) repcesentati_ves from ODP to
attend , the initial TADS users training course given by the
contractor. The intent is that the students will be selected
from among potential ODP TADS application programmers. The names

6. SUMMARY
The following three charts summarize the recommendations tor
planning the long range hardware requirements for TADS. The
reader is reminded that the COMTEN, Drum, Disk Controller, and
additional Alphanumeric Stations would be Government furnished
rather than contractor provided hardware.
The budget analysis points out the proposed deviations from
the current plan. We feel that the current budget shown in the
budget analysis is adequate to allow for the additional hardware
purchases.
The attached bubble chart shows chronologically the occurrence
and relationship to one another of the key milestones in our
current plan. The sequential relationship of the key milestones
can be seen clearly.
Figure three, the recommended TADS hardware configuratioc,
gives an overview of the proposed TADS system. Figure three n.ay
be contrasted with figure two for a pictorial representation cf
the differences between the planned hardware configuration anc
the proposed hardware configuration for TADS.
