PROVIDING FULL ADA SUPPORT FOR THE AN/UYS-2

THE PURPOSE OF THIS EFFORT IS TO STUDY, DESIGN, IMPLEMENT, AND PROGRAM AND THE ATTENDANT BENEFITS IN LIFE CYCLE COSTS, SOFTWARE REUSABILITY, AND RELIABILITY. THE AN/UYS-2 IS A SYSTEM THAT EMBODIES THE CONCEPTS ASSOCIATED WITH DYNAMICALLY DISTRIBUTED PARALLEL PROCESSING, PARTICULARLY AS APPLIED TO SIGNAL AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAMMING TOOLS CALLED THE PROCESSING GRAPH METHODOLOGY. HOWEVER, LOWER LEVEL TOOLS ARE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT HAND MICROCODE AND ASSEMBLY LEVEL PROGRAMMING AND DO NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POTENTIAL OF ADA. WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF ADA, THE FULL POTENTIAL OF THE AN/UYS-2 IS NOT REALIZABLE. IN PHASE I, A STUDY AND DESIGN WOULD BE PERFORMED TO INTERFACE ANDFUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS. THE EFFORT WOULD MAKE MAXIMUMD USE OF EXISTING ADA COMPILATION TOOLS AND VHDL MODELLING TOOLS AVAILABLE FROM CAE/CASE/CAD TOOL SUPPLIERS. IN PHASE 2, AN IMPLEMENTATION AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE ADA BASED TOOL SET WOULD BE PERFORMED. THE DEMONSTRATION WILL ADDRESS MULTIPLE PROCESSORS AND ELEMENTS AND CONCEPTS, INCLUDING THAT OF DYNAMIC DISTRIBUTION.SQ2
