Feasibility for the Integration of ASW Information Databases

摘要

There are currently three databases supported by three different commands thatcollect and output basically the same type of information: PACER, SHAREM, and AIREM. These systems contain initial detection data, tracking data, environmental data, system performance data, and weapon performance data. This thesis investigates the commonalities and differences in structure and content of the three databases, and examines the feasibility of integrating PACER, SHAREM, and AIREM into a single database. The benefits of this database integration are a more comprehensive utilization of data, reduced data collection for fleet users, and a standardization of how the data is analyzed.
