The Manpower, Personnel, and Training (MPT) in Acquisition Decision Support System (DSS) is a significant, four-year (February 1992 start) Air Force program that will address MPT requirements during system acquisition and design.

The MPT DSS software will have three major components: a Data Base Integration Subsystem, a Baseline Comparison System (BCS) Development Subsystem, and the Analysis Tools Subsystem. The Data Base Integration Subsystem will contain procedures for extracting historical MPT data from Air Force data bases and new system data from the LSA Record (LSAR). The Data Base Integration Subsystem will also contain procedures for structuring and maintaining the MPT data base needed to support analysis of the BCS and new system. The BCS Development Subsystem will help Air Force MPT analysts construct a BCS. The Analysis Tools Subsystem will contain an integrated set of MPT analysis methodologies and tradeoff techniques.
