EER proposes to conduct a 4 1/2 man month exploratory development effort which will focus upon the feasibility of adapting a previously developed management tool which is capable of identifying both hierarchial and relational data base attributes. Specifically, EER proposes to adapt a requirements data base tool that is capable of being identified in terms of a major system constructor in terms of written requirements,or generic wbs. EER then proposes to relate the requirements data base to the actual technology advancement efforts underway within the various divisions of BMDATC. The second task will be accomplished by establishing a recommendations data base in terms of the technology efforts being conducted within each BMDATC directorate as proposed in the current year as well as the five year plan. The feasibility of adapting this previously established capability rests primarily on EER's ability to identify loose linkages in terms of the requirements stated in the first data base vis-a-vis the recommendation developed in current planning efforts which will be contained in the second base once the linkages are identified in terms of several operative attributes.
