Abstract:

This thesis studies and analyzes the current Peruvian Air Force information systems with the view to implement an integrated network design for the existing computer based systems. The focus of this thesis is on examining the issues and factors that need to be taken into consideration for the integration design. The objective is to provide a feasible alternative for integration under the constraints of available resources and the limitations inherent to its environment. We believe that the implementation of the recommendations of this thesis will have a substantial impact on the information systems of the Peruvian Air Force, allowing new applications to be developed including a Decision Support System on the up-to-date data. It will also permit the resolution of many current problems related to data redundancy, inconsistency, and non-current data.
