The following programs use various terms and concepts that may not be familiar
to those people not associated with SAR (Search And Rescue) planning. The best
reference which explains these terms is the 'National Search And Rescue Manual'
which is available from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing
Office, Washington DC 20402.  The price is $4.65 (postage paid) for this
350 page book and the stock number is '050-012-00071-9'.  This manual is also
the official SAR manual for the Coast Guard, Air Force, Navy and the Army.

            SAR PROGRAMS NOW AVAILABLE

ELTPOD.BAS-(3K source listing)--This program calculates and prints tables of
aerial search ELT probability of detection as a function of terrain, altitude
and track spacing.  This program is written in BASIC-E but is easily converted
to any version of basic that has the EXP and SQR functions available.  Minimum
equipment is 4K of free memory. Optimum equipment includes a 72 column printer.

VISPOD.BAS-(3K source listing)--This program calculates and prints tables of
visual aerial search probability of detection as a function of visibility,
track spacing, altitude and terrain.  This program is written in BASIC-E but is
easily converted to any version of basic having the EXP function.  Minimum
equipment is 4K of free memory.  Optimum equipment includes a 72 column printer
(author: Mj Gregory CAP)

ADDPOD.BAS-(1K source listing)--This program calculates and prints a table that
allows the user to combine two visual pod's or two ELT pod's.  This program is
written in BASIC-E but is easily converted to any other version of basic that
has the LOG and EXP functions available.Minimum equipment is 4K of free memory.
Optimum equipment includes a 72 column line printer. (author Mj Gregory CAP)

RJCASP.BAS-(3K source listing)-This SAR resource allocation program uses rather
sophisticated algorithms to assist the mission coordinator in placing his
search forces in the optimum search areas.  This prrogram is usable for either
aerial or ground search of either regular or irregular search cells.  Required
data inputs are cell identification and initial probability of target (user
estimated) for each cell.  Inputted probability of detection for the searched
cells modifies the program output.  This program is written in standard basic
and requires string capability, LOG and EXP functions.  The program may be
modified to eliminate the requirement for string capability.  A FORTRAN version
of this program is also available.  Minimum equipment is 4K of free memory.

CASPPLUS.BAS-(14K source listing)-This program is an expanded version of RJCASP
and includes an extensive visual search analysis routine.  This program is very
heavily commented and includes plain language listings of the visual search
POD,POT and POS equations. This program is written in BASIC-E at a level equiv-
alent to 8K basic or RADIO SHACK Level 2. It may be converted to other versions
of basic with little difficulty due to the descriptive variable names used (eg.
'max','speed','area',etc.).  Minimum equipment is 16K of free memory. Optimum
equipment includes a video terminal and hard copy capability. (author LtCol
Mattson USAF+Mj Gregory CAP)

CAESAR.BAS-(22K+2K+2K+4K source and files listings)-This is a sophisticated log
keeping program for air operations. This program uses interactive random access
disc files to quiz the user during briefing and debriefing operations.  Flight
log's are automatically maintained and updated using these briefing/debriefing
inputs.  This program is written in BASIC-E and requires 32K CPM system memory
and disc capability.  Optimum equipment includes a fast video terminal and a
fast printer. (author Mj Gregory CAP)

BITCASP.BAS-(18K source listing)--This program is another enhancement of the
program RJCASP and uses a tablet digitizer to transfer map information for POS
analysis.  This program is written in CBASIC and requires the POKE command and
modification of CPM's BIOS (instructions are given).  This program uses a
Summagraphics BITPAD and 20K of free memory due to the arrays (ie a 35K CPM
system is needed).  Disc capability is not necessary.  Optimum equipment
includes a fast video terminal. (author Mj Gregory CAP)

CASPGAME.BAS-(20K source listing)--This program was written as a demonstration
device for the program BITCASP.BAS and includes the capability of storing a
mission scennario on random access disc file for later retrieval.  This program
has been written as a training game and challenges the user to find an unknown
target on the map by using POD's. The minimum system requires mass storage and
21K of free memory (ie. a 35K CPM system). (author Mj Gregory CAP)

C.A.P. SEARCH v1.0-(5K source listing)--This program is a game played on a 512
grid map.  It challenges the user to find a downed aircraft given the starting
point, destination and various random clues which the program generates from
time to time.  The user is given three playing pieces (ie. a land team and two
aircraft (one with electronic search capability)).  This rather interesting
game teaches the fundamentals of proper utilization of various search capabil-
ities.  This program was written in SWTPC 4K Basic V2.0 and is usable on
nearly any basic having 6K of free memory. (author Capt Bream CAP)

SERCHGME.BAS-(9K source listing)-This program is essentially the same as C.A.P.
SEARCH except it has been rewritten according to the rules of structured
programming and as a result, is more easily understood.  This program was
written in BASIC-E and requires 6K of free memory. The memory requirements may
be considerably reduced by deleting the many comments and remarks. (author

OPT.BAS-(2K source listing)--Given the estimated probability of target for
several or many grids and given the total effective search force, this
program recommends the optimum distrivution of forces in accordance with math-
ematical theory of search. Example: the output might be-"search grid PL41
for a POD of 48% and grid PL42 for a POD of 27%".  This program is written in
BASIC-E and is easily converted to any other basic language.  It is ideal as
as a subroutine for the programs RJCASP or CASPPLUS and requires about 3K of
free memory. (author Cmdr Discenza USCG)

N-ELT1.ASC-(10K source listing)--Microsoft version
N-ELT1.BAS-(10K source listing)--CBASIC version
N-ELT1.DOC-(3K of text)--Documentation and Instructions
This is a radio direction finding program that assists the user in localizing
an unknown radio transmission.  Besides 16K of free memory, the only special
equipment required is a map which has and arbitrary grid (latitude+longitude
are not necessary) overlay. (author: C.P.Kelly New Mexico Ares)

DFELT.BAS-(7K source listing)--This program is essentially a rewrite of the
program 'N-ELT1' (by C..Kelly).  It is written in CBASIC and requires a 35K CPM
system.  The memory requirements may be reduced drastically by changing the
dimension statements (i.e. reducing the number of locations/bearings that may
be handled simultaneously).  See 'N-ELT1.DOC' for documentation. (author:Mj
