Functional Description of the Training and Personnel Systems Technology Information System

摘要

The system will track the manpower-related research efforts sponsored by the Military Departments and by the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Manpower, Reserve Affairs and Logistics). Information will be maintained for each Program Element, project, and task related to manpower research. The research efforts will be categorized by performing organization, DOD Budget Categories, TPST program area, and goals. Other data will indicate funding, research plans, project description, and expected payoffs. Also described in this document are the TPST system reports to be developed, such as fiscal tables, listings, and synopses. Users can directly access TPST data using the inquiry routine of the data base management system. Text searches will be an important feature for the inquiries. The TPST system is expected to be used by planners and managers in OSD, in the Military Department headquarters, and in the research laboratories to describe the research program in general and to monitor research activities. Researchers can use the system to identify research efforts of others related to specific topics.
