Abstract:

The program management peculiar aspects of a management information system MIS are developed as they reflect the dynamic one-time-through nature of a weapons system acquisition process. DOD policies on information and data are discussed and the dichotomy between the requirement to tailor information systems and their data base and the requirement to utilize but not expand on a system picked from an authorized list remains unresolved. A logical approach to designing the data base is developed and it is concluded that the same sequence would be followed in developing the MIS. In that process, the data base will automatically evolve. Author
