PREFACE


This manual is designed to familiarize Air Force personnel with the
unique mission of 26 NORAD Region's SAGE Programming Agency. Non-
technical language will be used so that both programmers and opera-
tions, command and staff personnel will have a common reference con-
cerning the scope of computer program design, documentation, mainte-
nance, and testing responsibilities. Lack of clear communications
between operations personnel (the users) and computer technicians has
probably been the single greatest impediment to effective use of any
computer system. This is an effort to minimize this difficulty.

MISSION OF SAGE PROGRAMMING AGENCY


Provide technical programming support of SAGE computer programs to
insure that, at all echelons of command within Aerospace Defense Com-
mand, Commanders can:

1. Exercise timely command and control over weapons and weapons
support systems.

2. Conduct the air battle on a real-time basis.

3. Coordinate operational actions with and give support to oper-
ational echelons above, below, and adjacent to them.

4* Facilitate implementation of orders and instructions from
NORAD to NORAD Region Combat Centers.

5. Provide timely air battle information to the NORAD Combat Oper
ations Cent'er.

6. Maintain a high level of combat readiness through the use of
simulation, evaluation, and recording functions of the SAGE program
system.

THE COMPUTER PROGRAM


The computer cannot accomplish its functions unless responding to a
set of instructions. These instructions are known collectively as a com-
puter program. Discrete areas within this set of instructions are called
subprograms .

Each operation carried on within a Direction Center during the proc-
essing of an air defense problem is controlled by a separate subprogram.
All subprograms together constitute the SAGE program system called the
SAGE Operational Program.

The air defense program may be divided up into major functional
blocks such as the air surveillance or weapons direction area. The air
surveillance area consists of a group of subprograms which compile and
process information on air movements while the weapons direction portion
uses surveillance data to direct the defense of a given area with mis-
siles or manned aircraft. Some other major functional areas are displays,
simulation, data reduction, and recording. In each area, subprograms
perform a complex function automatically or semi-automatically as deter-
mined by operations personnel through a system of switch actions capable
of modifying the automatic features of the program system.

The SAGE Operational Program together with the facility and utility
program systems which support it is still the most complex computer pro-
gram system in operation today.

HISTORY OF THE SAGE PROGRAMMING AGENCY


Since 1965, Air Force personnel at Luke AFB have been developing
the capability to accomplish computer programming tasks required to
support the Aerospace Defense Mission.

In 1966, the SAGE programming contractor, System Development Cor-
poration, was tasked to train Air Force officers and NCO's to handle
program maintenance functions. The results of this initial effort
were highly successful. Air Force personnel rapidly acquired the tech-
nical knowledge necessary to handle routine site maintenance tasks.

Following this initial "Blue Suit" transition at all SAGE Direction
Centers and Combat Centers, 26 Air Division (then 27 Air Div) continued
training to handle test and acceptance as well as SAGE system maintenance
functions.

On 3 June 1968, 27 Test and Acceptance Agency was officially assigned
the responsibility for verification of contractor-designed computer pro-
grams and for system maintenance of these programs. By June 1969, the
success of Air Force personnel in handling their technical responsibilities
indicated that "Blue Suit" training should be further expanded to include
the more sophisticated programming functions of design and version pro-
duction.

In November 1969, Commander, ADC, ordered that plans be drawn up and
implemented to increase the capability of 26 Test and Acceptance Agency
to handle all SAGE computer programming functions performed by contractor
personnel. As a result, field site manning was reduced from nine to five
programmers and 26 Test and Acceptance Agency manning was increased by
twenty- one systems analysts and computer programmers. System Development
Corporation was contracted to provide training in those areas which Air
Force personnel required upgrading.

On 1 July 1970, 26 Test and Acceptance Agency was redesignated 26
SAGE Programming Agency (26DOSP) to more accurately identify the increased
scope of technical responsibilities.

Upon completing formal training (15 July 1970) Air Force systems
analysts and computer programmers began on-the-job training to develop and
refine procedures to design changes to the SAGE program system.

On 30 June 1971, 26 NORAD Region will accept full responsibility for
total technical support of the SAGE computer program system, thereby saving
ADC more than $3.5 million per year without reducing Air Defense capability.

O


THE NATURE OF THE JOB AND THE PEOPLE


The most common question asked of systems analyst/computer programmer
personnel is--what do you do and why is it necessary? Too often the
answer given is loaded with technical terms and abbreviations which con-
fuse the asker, establish a communications block, and ultimately result
in minimizing the effectiveness of programming support.

Changes to SAGE computer programs are a continuing requirement. Most
operational decisions affecting air defense strategy, tactics, weapons
design, weapons capabilities, and organizational configurations have a
major impact upon computer programs used within the system. In many
cases, these decisions can be implemented rapidly in current programs.

This responsiveness is directly related to the well documented SAGE pro-
gram system in existence. However, some operational changes may require
major changes within the program system. The impact of these major changes
may act as restraints to implementing changes or result in technical analy-
sis to find alternate or interim measures of satisfying operational require-
ments .

THE MAJOR TASK. OF 26 SAGE PROGRAMMING AGENCY IS TO CONVERT OPERATIONAL
REQUIREMENTS INTO CHANGES TO COMPUTER PROGRAMS . The translation of require-
ments from prose to computer language is a technical task which requires
the use of , many skills. Within 26 SAGE Programming Agency, analysts and
programmers have many different educational backgrounds which are needed
to handle technical tasks: Mathematics, engineering, and computer science
degrees are balanced by English, history, and general science education,
all of which provide a necessary supplement to Air Force training in com-
puter programming. In addition, the requirement for operational knowledge
of air defense functions is met by officers and NCO‘s who have been assigned
to SAGE Direction Centers as weapons controllers and aircraft control and
warning technicians for several years prior to training as computer pro-
grammers. This mix of technical and operational skills insures that realis-
tic responsiveness to operational requirements is obtained.

SAGE PROGRAMMING AGENCY WORK FUNCTIONS


Operational Design - Consists of designing and documenting changes to
the SAGE system as directed by ADC. Design Change Suggestions are
analyzed to determine feasibility, validity, and operational impact; a
document is produced which states how the Design Change will be accom-
plished.

Design Implementation - Consists of flow charting and otherwise document-
ing the program code required to implement the modifications specified
by operational design changes. The implementation process includes cod-
ing, testing, and submitting necessary changes to all technical documents
for publication.

Version Assembly - Consists of those technical tasks required to incorpo-
rate all approved changes onto a new SAGE Master Tape.

Version Testing - A series of realistic simulated environment tests and
live environment tests used to verify that the SAGE computer program
system operates according to system specifications.

Program Maintenance - Analysis and response to suspected computer program
problems reported by users and test personnel. The result of maintenance
tasks will' be timely repair of verified problems or clarification of
technical and operational documents which were referenced in the reports.

26 Air Division Support - To provide 26 Air Division operations with a
SAGE Master Tape configured to reflect the current Air Division environ-
ment. This tape is regularly updated to reflect changes to local geogra-
phy, telling capabilities, input sources such as long range radars, and
other characteristics unique to 26 Air Division.

ORGANIZATIONAL DESCRIPTION


The SAGE Programming Agency is organized under 26 DCS /Operations
at Directorate level and is managed by a senior computer systems staff
officer who directs and coordinates the varied work functions involved.

Each systems analyst and programmer is assigned to one of the
Divisions within the Directorate which has responsibility for a segment
of the SAGE program system. Aircraft Control & Warning Technicians and
computer operators are assigned to those functional areas which best
use their combined operational and technical skills.

Analysts and programmers are responsible for acquiring and main-
taining current technical knowledge of operational specifications and
program logic within their assigned functional area as well as a work-
ing understanding of operational problems and procedures.

Interlaced with the formal functional organization and crossing
established organizational channels, a product oriented sub-organization
exists. Each product (SAGE Program Change) authorized by ADC is assigned
to a Product Coordinator in one of the functional Divisions. This analyst
chairs an analysis team and manages the design and implementation of the
assigned product throughout the production cycle of the change. The
technical work involved in operational design and design implementation
is accomplished primarily through this sub-organization of Product Coord-
inators. Quality control of over-all production is accomplished by the
Management Control Division which monitors the status of all products
and verifies quality and reliability.

Effective support of the SAGE system is provided through a coordi-
nated team effort within the SAGE Programming Agency as w^ll as active
liaison with operations and hardware maintenance personnel. Daily
contact with programmers at all SAGE field sites insures that program
problems are rapidly identified and resolved; timely preventative actions
provide maximum program reliability.

To standardize the assignment and control of final letter identifiers
for program correctors.


1. Responsibility . 26D0S personnel will comply with the following
coding conventions and restrictions in the generation of programs and/
or program coding for the SUOP system. The responsible division chief
may authorize deviation, after coordination with DOSM. Programs or
coding which are now in violation of the procedure specified in this
01 are to be corrected as the programs are upmoded, and/or a new corn-
pool generated.

2. References :

a. TM 3010, FAST Complex User Manual.

b. TM 3233, COSEAL Utility System Manual.

3. Coding Conventions :

a. Programs . All programs will be identified by a three (3) letter
symbolic name; i.e., TRK, W0M.

b. Program Mod Designators . The program mod designators will be as
follows :


(1) SUOP Operational Programs . The mod designators for these

programs will consist of two (2) letters. The first letter will denote
the type of program; i.e., DC = D, FAST = F, etc. The second letter

denotes the mod update identification; i.e., SIS DE, FCP FC.

(2) SUOP Pseudo Programs (Adaptations) . The mod designator
procedures are:

(a) Operations Tapes (Future and Current) . The mod desig-
nator will consist of a digit and a letter. The digit indicates the
version applicability and the letter denotes the sequence alphabetical
order of the modifications. The alphabetical designator will be changed
each time there is a corrector deck submitted; i.e., CXS IC = program
CXS , Version 51 applicability, the third change.


This 01 supersedes 26DOS 01 55-3, 19 Jan 71
OPR: DOSM


26DOS 01 55-3


(b). TNR , 25 and 75 Air Div Tapes . The mod designator for
these tapes will consist of two characters. The first being a unique
designator; T = TNR, X = 25 Air Div, and F = 75 Air Div; the second will
identify the modification using the letters A through Z and returning to
A. , i

Note : DOSC will maintain a log of all pseudo programs and their mod
designators. This log will be made available on request and it will con-
tain listings for both the current and future versions of all four (4)
types of configurations; Ops, TNR, 25, and 75 Air Div.

c. Tables . All tables will be identified by a three (3) letter
symbolic name and a digit; i.e., ARM0, TTY0.

d. Items . Items will be identified by a four (4) letter symbolic
name; i.e., TIDY , ARDI, etc.

e. Location Identifiers :

(1) Within main body of program, locations will be identified
by two (2) digits and a letter; i.e., 10A, 35N, etc.

(2) Final address or corrector pool locations will be identified
by two (2) digits and two (2) letters; i.e., 10AB, 35NC, etc.

4. Coding Restrictions are as follows :

a. Tags will be maintained in an alpha-numberic sequence in order
to facilitate troubleshooting and program correction.

b. The number of registers between program tags will be limited to
less than one hundred (100) to facilitate program modification.

c. Program constants will normally be located in the 60 region of
the programs.

d. Regions within a program will be referenced to by the two (2)
digit identifier; i.e,, 21 region, 35 region.

e. Areas of a program are defined as two (2) digits and a letter;
i.e., 15B area, 42A area.

f. Whenever possible, program adaptation will be contained in a
pseudo program. All references should be made to compool- defined items
and table tags.

g. Macro and Command instructions may not be utilized for opera-
tional programming.

h. CPO Tags . - Compool overrides (CPOs) are not to be used in pro-
gram assemblies.


2



26DOS 01 55*3


i. Reference to Compool . Reference to compool- defined items is
to be in symbolic form only; e.g., P0S31 TIDY; not FCL 12.

j. I/O Interrupt . An "add class" instruction must not be followed
by "STA" or "STAA" instructions because the "A" register may not be
cleared due to the I/O Interrupt feature.

k. The pseudo instruction "PGM" will appear in the second register
of all programs.

l. An extraneous exit from a TTB instruction should exit to an
address as if a legal value had been found.

m. SYC coding over deleted areas should be avoided because it
severely decreases the effectiveness of automatic updating tools.

5. Symbolic Corrector Card and Deck Conventions . The following proce-
dures will be adhered to by SPA personnel when generating corrector
decks for load to the SUOP and RUN systems.

a. Card column information for program data on SYC correctors is
contained in paragraph 1.2.1, Chapter 2, FAST User Manual.

b. Card column information for program data on COMPOOL corrector
cards is contained in paragraph 1.2.2, Chapter 2, FAST User Manual.

c. Card column information for program data on ETS corrector cards
is contained in paragraph 2.3, Chapter 2, FAST User Manual.

2. Responsibility . 26D0S personnel will comply with the following
procedures when generating changes to either the Active Air or Test
environments .

3 . Terms Explained :

a. Test N0RAD Region (TNR). A SU0P tape containing the mythical/
live environment required by the SAGE Programming Agency (SPA) in order
to develop, test, and evaluate the new SAGE products/versions.

b. 66MC - A document produced in TPR format issued in support of
changes to the Region's Active Air Defense (AAD) adaptation, geography,
and initial conditions and when completely compatible, card for card,
with the TNR data base will be authorized for load to the TNR tape.

c. 69MC - A document produced in TPR format issued in support of
changes in the TNR environment , adaptation, geography and initial
conditions or to load AAD changes which cannot be loaded on a card- for -
card basis because of an effect on the mythical environment.

4. Procedures . When a requirement exists to change either the AAD or
TNR environments, the following procedures apply:


Supersedes 260PM 01 55-6, 21 Oct 69
OPR: 26DOSM


26DOS 01 55-6


a ^ The programmer will review the requirement, determine the type
of change required (a 66MC , 69MC, or possibly both), and obtain the
appropriate number (s) from DOSM.

b. If a PIR was the basis for the change, the programmer will close
it by indicating that the problem was due to an adaptation error, giving
the 66/69 number, per reference "c."

c. The programmer will develop, test, and evaluate the correctors.
The provisions of references "a" and "b" will be adhered to in the pro-
duction of the card decks .

d. When the programmer is satisfied that the correctors operate as
required, he will produce and submit a final draft of the MC, through
his division chief, to DOS for typing. The MCs will be in TPR format
and contain the following:


" 1 .

Subject/Title:


2.

System/Version/Program:


3.

Reference:


4.

Descriptive Data:

Miscellaneous Comments:


7.

Program Data:"


When

66/69 MCs are to be loaded to

both the current and the


future versions, the programmer will submit two corrector decks and two
load requests to DOSM.

f. When the required change is common to both the current and future
versions and the corrector deck is not completely compatible with the
future version, due to NMs or PDCs, a dash one (-1) change will be gener-
ated and submitted by the programmer.

g. The programmer will have DOSC produce the necessary tape load
request(s) and five (5) copies of a multi listing. He will complete the
tape load request(s), have it signed by his division chief, and submit

it together with the corrector deck(s) to DOSM, where they will be handled
as outlined in reference "d." He will deliver the five copies of the
multi listing to DOS, where they will be attached to the main body of the
MC.

DOS 01 55-6


h. When unclassified , DOS will produce five copies of the MC,
attaching the multi listing. When completed, DOS will notify the
programme*- that the MC is ready for proofreading.

i. When classified , DOS will produce three copies of the MC,
attaching the multi listing. When completed, DOS will notify the
programmer that the MC is available for proofreading.

j. When the programmer is satisfied that the MC is correct, he
will forward the MC to DOSM for coordination and distribution. If
classified, he will forward a Document Coordination Sheet (26AD Form
70) to DOS and DOSM for coordination, to DOSC in order for them to
extract the classified TM-820 changes, and to the other division
chiefs for their information.

5 . Pi s tr ibution :


a. When unclassified , five copies will be distributed as follows:

(1) The original to the issuing programmer for the Area Note-
book.


(2) One copy to DOSM for inclusion into the appropriate Ver-
sion Description (VD) and then for file.

(3) One copy to DOS for his information and then for the DOS
read file.

(4) One copy each to the 2 6 NR BUIC sites.

b. When classified , three copies will be distributed as follows:

(1) The original filed in the DOS safe. A document coordina-
tion will be circulated through DOS, DOSM, and the other division
chiefs for their information.


(2) One copy each to the 26NR BUIC sites.
6. Attachments:


a. Attachment 1 contains a listing of all the SUOP adaptation
programs and the responsible divisions.


b. Attachment 2 contains a listing of all the SUOP initial condi-
tions, table blocks, and the responsible divisions. Reference "a' 1 will
be used to determine whether an item is site unique, production release,
optional, and the authorized values.
