AFI System Proposal

NMCI Project Assessment

The following is my assessment of the project

That when developing the project care was never taken to read carefully the set objectives and whether or not they were being met . As a result only two of them were met which indicated there was a need to overhaul the system . the less expansion continued as if nothing was wrong

Modern development tools like prototyping were never used properly System users were never involved in the development as the project was only handled by the experts . As a result serious

mistakes were never detected let alone being solved in time

The size of the project needed the use of modern networking hardware fast enough to cope with the heavy traffic created by the over 650 ,000 users . Instead of replacing the obsolete old hardware with the new ones the project continued to build on them which created more disaster

The monitoring process was never put into use as the Navy personnel who appeared to have vested interest in the project kept on defending it rather than bringing correcting and useful comments during the development process . They only focused on being able to provide some service whether that service was reliable or dependable was never the issue was never an issue

The Navy system is normally classified as critical and needs special methods to minimize and tolerate some faults during its development Such methods were never used . For example reliability , safety and security assessments were never done

Performance tests were never carried even though it was clearly known such tests were mandatory . The programming languages used were never compatible with modern distributed operating systems . There was need to use Object Oriented Systems to enhance later modification compatibility

THE AFI NEW SYSTEM PROPOSAL

Introduction

Purpose of the Document

This document is prepared for use by the following people and for the following purposes

User Name Why need the Document

System Customers Check if needs are met and specify any changes that may be required

Managers / Officers To plan for the system bid and its development

System Engineers To Know and be guided on what system to develop

System test engineers To develop validation tests

System Maintenance Engineers To understand the system parts and its Scope of the Product

This system is meant to be used by the current air force staff and it will take into account their current number and the projected number in the year 2030

It will use the most current network technology including their topologies , transmission media , and distributed operating system architecture

System Overview

Why use networks

To allow for efficient sharing and use of computer resources

To facilitate efficient dissemination of messages , notices to air force staff

To provide connectivity to other armed forces and air force personnel in US

To research and read widely about events taking place in US , and outside world . In particular those that are a threat to the US

To perform trade and other commercial activities

The connectivity and...
