Interrange Scheduling and Universal Documentation System (UDS) Document Development and Transmission.

One of the original tasks assigned to the recently established Interrange Operations Group IOG was to determine an approach to 1 achieve individual, compatible, automated range scheduling systems to support increased interrange operations, 2 develop mechanized range documentation systems that will significantly reduce the manual effort required to develop, print, and distribute Universal Documentation System UDS documents, and 3 initiate the action to acquire the needed capability at all member ranges involved in interrange operations. A subgroup was established to conduct a survey of the Major Range and Test Facility Bases MRTFBs and determine what each organization has available in automated range management systems. This study included an analysis of these systems to determine the feasibility of information exchangetransfer by electronic means. In view of the work already completed by the RCC Documentation Group DG on Mechanized Range Documentation, this effort was limited to the Mechanized Range Scheduling System MRSS and the communications needs between systems.
