Abstract
The U.S. Army lacks a single automated fire support system. The goal of Army's ongoing project of Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS) is to integrate all of its fire power under a single automated system to provide an efficient fire support in the battlefield. AFATDS is being implemented using the language ADA for battalion and above level. The problem for this research is to implement AFATDS for battalion (just for technical fire direction) level and below. In addition, we want to add a Graphical User Interface (GUI), use modern software engineering principles and add multitasking. The approach taken was to apply object-oriented paradigm for the design and development of the battery level of AFATDS using Microsoft Windows' operating environment which provides (non-preemptive) multitasking and a GUI, and Borland C++ as the development tool. The results are as follows: The battery level software of AFATDS is implemented. The GUI provided a better interface which facilitates easier training Ref. 17. Multitasking allowed multiple firing missions to execute concurrently which was not possible with BCS. Object- oriented features of Borland C++ provided 60% improvement for GUI development than traditional programming languages
