Abstract
This thesis examines the use of an inexpensive
commercial microcomputer for the preparation of Naval
Reporting Structure Operational Reports. These highlyformatted
reports provide critical unit information used Dy
the National Command Authority and Joint Chiefs of Staff in
assessing the nation's defense posture. Since these reports
drz prccessed ty computer, correct formatting and data entry
are essential to preserve the timeliness and accuracy of the
information. The requirements of a Report Origination System
ere investigated from the perspective of the systerr
operator, the message drafter and the message releasing
authority. Interfaces are developed which provide for system
application to different hardware configurations. A subset
of the Ada language is used to allow structured programming
and data abstraction techniques, elements of the Unit Status
znd Identity Report (UNITRE?) are implemented using this
method .
