. System used was the IBM 370.

The BDM Corporation - Huntsville, AL, System Analyst - Permanent

(Dec 84 to Jan 87)

. Installed two real-time simulation models on the VAX 780 computer

system, Combat IV, and the Weapon Assessment Model (WAM). These

models characterized a combat scenario for the European theater region

and simulated Probability of Kill (PK) against the target.

. Wrote FORTRAN 77 programs using DISSPLA graphics to generate

ballistic trajectory profiles for the Multiple Launch Rocket System

(MLRS) utilizing the simulation models. The output was displayed on a

DEC VT241 terminal or Calcomp plotter.

. As Project Lead Analyst, directed three Programmers in the design and

implementation of an automated prototype. The Reliability Data

Acquisition and Analysis Techniques (RDAAT) tools system was developed
