    General John R. Deane, Jr.
    Commanding General
    U.S. Army Materiel Development and
      Readiness Command                  (
      5001 Eisenhower Avenue
    Alexandria, Virginia   22304

    Dear General Deane:

         We have completed a survey of data processing activities
    at the Aberdeen PLoving Ground. Our objective was to assess
    the overall management effectiveness in using the computer
    to support the Aberdeen mission. We also contacted the
    Acting Director of Management Information Systems of the
    Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) to
    determine if the Command is planning to obtain replacement or
    additional computer equipment.

         The Aberdeen Proving Ground operates an IBM model 360/65
    computer which was installed in 1970 and purchased by the Army
    for about $2 6 million. It is used for both business and
    scientific and engineering applications and serves as a central
    computer hosting a number of remote activities through tele-
    communications   A sizable portion of the computer workload
    is used in processing the Test, Evaluation, Analysis, and
    Management Uniformity Plan (TEAM-UP), the standard automated
    management system of the Test and Evaluation Command.

         In addition, data processing support is provided
    through remote job entry terminals to:

         1. Jefferson Proving Ground, Madison, Indiana
         2. Materiel Test Directorate of the Aberdeen
             Proving Ground
         3. U.S. Army Ordnance Center and School located
             at Aberdeen
         4. Aviation Test Board, Ft. Rucker, Alabama

         Prior to July 1975, Aberdeen also supported three
    additional test boards, but this work has since been trans-
    ferred to another Army computer installation
