Technical Publication Transfer Test Using ATT Technology Systems Provided Data:MIL-M-28001 (SGML) and MIL-R-28002 (Raster), Type I. Quick Short Test Report

摘要

The DoD Computer-aided Acquisition and Logistic Support (CALS) Test Network (CTN)is conducting tests of the military standard for the Automated Interchange of Technical Information, MIL-STD-1840A, and its companion suite of military specifications. The CTN is a DoD-sponsored confederation of voluntary participants from industry and government managed by the Air Force Logistics Command. The primary objective of the CTN is to evaluate the effectiveness of the CALS standards (Standards) for technical data interchange and to demonstrate the technical capabilities and operational suitability of those Standards. Two general categories of test are performed to evaluate the Standards, formal and informal. Formal tests are large, comprehensive tests that follow a written test plan, require specific authorization from DoD, and may take months to prepare, execute, and report. Informal test are quick and short, taking only a few hours to set up and execute. The purpose of the informal test reported in this QSTR was to analyze AT and T Technology Systems interpretation and use of the CALS standards in transferring technical publications data.
