| | Cargo Movement and Operations System (CMOS) |
| | Primary Purpose | CMOS is a base-level combat support system used |
| | to move cargo in peacetime, and cargo and |
| | passengers in support of contingencies. The |
| | electronic reporting of cargo movement makes CMOS |
| | a vital component of the logistics community's |
| | effort to provide in-transit asset visibility. |
| | Sub-Functions | Supports packaging and preservation, outbound |
| | surface and airfreight operations, inbound |
| | surface and air freight operations, deployment |
| | passenger processing, OCONUS airlift clearance |
| | authority functions. |
| | Equipment Requirements | SYSTEM SERVER: Hewlett-Packard (HP) Apollo 9000 |
| | Series 700 Model 750 and HP 9000 D Class |
| | Enterprise Server super-minicomputer. Peripheral |
| | equipment associated with the central server |
| | includes a system console and an Uninterruptible |
| | Power Supply (UPS). |
| | |
| | CLIENT WORKSTATIONS: Windows 95/98/NT |
| | microcomputers, Intermec 4400 Label Printer, |
| | Kyocera and LexMark laser printers, and Janus |
| | JR2020 Radio Frequency (RF) Automated |
| | Identification Technology (AIT) hand-held |
| | terminal and docking station. |
| | |
| | ROUTERS AND CONNECTIVITY DEVICES: A combination |
| | of routers and connectivity devices may be used |
| | for communications connectivity at each site, |
| | depending on existing networks at the bases. |
| | Typically, for a server located at a base, a |
| | multi-port router at the Base Network |
| | Communications Center (BNCC) will connect the |
| | server to the base LAN or the T-1 data links. In |
| | turn, routers within the functional user office |
| | spaces do routing to the user terminals located |
| | at the user's workplace. For a multi-site system |
| | located at a DISA facility, the client systems |
| | at the bases will use the base infrastructure |
| | described above to connect to the server located |
| | at the DISA facility. |
| | |
| | LABEL PRINTER: Accessed via Windows 95/98/NT |
| | Print sharing capability. |
| | Connectivity Requirements | The CMOS Version 5.0 features a client-server |
| | arrangement. The Hewlett-Packard (HP) 9000/700 |
| | series and D Class Enterprise Server |
| | super-minicomputer is the database and |
| | communications server providing client support to |
| | various local and remote system users. The |
| | server also provides the majority of system |
| | technical security controls (e.g., discretionary |
| | access control, identification, authentication, |
| | and audit) through the ORACLE RDBMS and HP-UX |
| | Operating System. Users access the CMOS server |
| | from Intel-compatible client workstations through |
| | an Ethernet 802.3 Local Area Network (LAN). All |
| | CMOS functional users operate PCs as client |
| | workstations, which access the centralized ORACLE |
| | database via SQL*NET software that provides the |
| | actual Client-server sessions. Each workstation |
| | optionally may have additional peripherals |
| | attached such as a laser printer, |
| | thermal-transfer label printer, and/or a Hand-Held Terminal (HHT). |
| Crypto Requirements | Unclassified system. |
| Normal Locations | Functional work centers within base traffic |
| Management Offices. Planning and Packaging |
| Outbound Surface Freight, Inbound Surface |
| Freight, Outbound Air freight, Inbound Air |
| Freight, Air-lift Clearance Authority (Overseas |
| locations only), Passenger Processing (Deployment |
| Processing). |
| Information Managed | Unclassified information pertaining to the |
| movement of DoD cargo. Description of cargo, |
| special handling properties, historical movement |
| data, routine movement document information, |
| funds expenditures associated with cargo shipment |
| via commercial means, etc. |
| Products Created | Various movement documents associated with cargo |
| shipment by both military and commercial shipment |
| modes. Shipping labels. Hazardous materials |
| identification documents. Electronic Data |
| Interchange (EDI) transaction sets. |
| Lead Service/Contractor | United States Air Force. |
| SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTOR: Litton-PRC inc., |
| prime contractor; Anteon Corp., subcontractor. |
| Current Fielding Status | Installed at 192 USAF active duty, Guard and |
| Reserve activities. Installed at 9 US Marine |
| Corps sites. Installed at HQ National Security |
| Agency. |
| Installed at 1 US Army site (Ft. Hood, TX). |
| Known Problems | None |
| DIICOE Compliance Rating | Currently Level-3 compliant (non-certified). |
| Further increase in level of compliance is |
| contingent upon future TC-AIMS II migration |
| efforts. |
