Abstract
The Aviation Command Safety Assessment (ACSA) is a questionnaire survey methodology developed to evaluate a Naval Aviation Command's safety climate, culture, and safety program effectiveness. This survey was a manual process first administered in the fall of 1996. The primary goal of this thesis is to design, develop, and test an Internet-based, prototype model for administering this survey using new technologies that allow automated survey submission and analysis. The result of this thesis is a web site ?http:// spitfire.avsafety.nps.navy.mil that adheres to a three-tier client/server architecture. The back-end SQL server database used to store survey information is accessed via front-end Java applets or Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) forms. Middleware components that complete the connection between client and server include Weblogic's Fastforward JDBCTM driver and Java servlets. The ACSA web site utilitizes many Internet technologies: Active Server Pages (ASP), HTML, Javascript, Active X, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), COl scripts, JDBCTM, and Java applets and servlets. This thesis leads the reader through the research and development process describing how each of these technologies is used. Thorough review of this material is necessary for lifecycle support and fliture project revisions. Complete source code can be found in the appendices.
